The ministry recently announced on social media that there are four essential measures to get a new work permit.

The application is electronically accepted and sent to the Ministry upon completion of the submission.

After approval, companies must submit a signed employment offer letter, establish insurance or a bank guarantee, and pay government costs.
Skilled Worker Requirements

Furthermore, regardless of credentials, an employee must make at least AED 4,000 per month in order to be considered skilled labor. A professional license from the appropriate UAE government is necessary for several occupations, including those in healthcare, education, sports training, and law.
Additionally, candidates from Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq require a legitimate national ID card with two sides clearly visible.

Under certain circumstances, such as an alteration in the worker’s nationality, a permit may be replaced within six months after issuance as long as the job title and gender stay the same. The Federal Authority for The concept of identity, Citizenship, Immigration & Port Security must be contacted in order to rescind the first admission authorization.
According to MOHRE, the revised procedure is a component of continuous initiatives to enhance openness, expedite the hiring procedure, and guarantee complete legal compliance in the UAE labor market.
