Employment Visa Services in Dubai

Sponsor Employees Without the Paperwork Delays

FZVS (Free Zone Visa Services) provides Employment Visa Services that Dubai employers rely on to sponsor staff correctly the first time. From MOHRE work permit approval to Emirates ID and residence visa stamping, we manage every stage so new hires can start work without avoidable delays or fines.

What Is a Dubai Employment Visa?

A Dubai employment visa is an employer-sponsored residence permit that lets a foreign national legally live and work in the UAE. It is not a single document. It combines a MOHRE work permit, a GDRFA or ICP entry permit, a medical fitness clearance, Emirates ID registration, and a stamped residence visa, usually valid for 2 years. Under UAE labour law, the employer is responsible for the cost, and working without a valid permit can trigger fines of up to AED 100,000, deportation, or an entry ban.

What’s Included in Our Service

MOHRE work permit application and labour approval
Entry permit issuance or in-country status change for employees already in the UAE
Medical fitness test booking at an approved centre
Emirates ID biometrics and registration
Residence visa stamping through GDRFA or ICP
Labour contract filing and WPS setup guidance
Renewal tracking before the 2-year validity expires

Employment Visa Services Process in Dubai

Eligibility and Quota Check: We confirm your company’s MOHRE category, visa quota, and Emiratisation obligations before filing.
Work Permit and Entry Permit: We submit the labour approval and, once granted, apply for the entry permit or status change.
Medical Fitness Test: We book the test at a DHA-approved centre and track the result.
Emirates ID and Biometrics: We coordinate fingerprinting and ID registration with ICP.
Residence Visa Stamping: We complete stamping and hand over the final documents, usually within 7 to 21 working days end to end.

What Makes Our Process Different

Most delays in visa processing come from typing centre queues, missed sequencing, or documents that get rejected on a technicality. Our process is built to remove those friction points:

In-House Typing, No Amer or Tasheel Queues: We type and file applications ourselves. There is no dependency on Amer or Tasheel typing centres, which removes one of the most common causes of delay.
20-Minute Turnaround: Once your documents are complete, typing and submission are handled within 20 minutes.
Proofreading by Specialised Personnel: Every document is checked by a dedicated proofreader before submission, since a mismatched name or an outdated field is the most common reason a file gets rejected.
Proof of Work at Every Step: You receive WhatsApp updates, a summary of document details, and access to a shared Google Drive folder holding copies of everything filed on your behalf. Many providers do not offer this level of visibility.
Fully Remote Process: Documents, approvals, and payment are handled online, so you do not need to leave your desk. Payment is made by secure online transfer.
Competitive Rates on Government-Adjacent Clauses: We offer terms on select clauses that are more competitive than standard typing centre rates.
Built for Premium Clients: Our workflow is designed around employers who value discretion, speed, and a single accountable point of contact rather than a queue number.

Employment Visa Services Cost in Dubai

The total cost depends on your MOHRE company category, whether the hire is mainland or free zone, and how many dependents follow. Our published range includes:

Standard Two-Year Employment Visa (All-In): Roughly AED 3,500 to AED 8,000 per employee, covering work permit, entry permit, medical, Emirates ID, and stamping.
Work Permit / Labour Approval: Government fees typically AED 300 to AED 5,000 depending on MOHRE Category 1 to 3 classification.
Medical Fitness Test: AED 320 to AED 800, with express same-day results available at the higher end.
Emirates ID: Around AED 370 for a standard two-year card.
Health Insurance: AED 1,500 to AED 8,000 annually depending on coverage level.
Renewal: Typically AED 4,000 to AED 6,000, repeating the medical and Emirates ID update.
Dependent Visas: Family sponsorship generally requires a minimum salary threshold and carries a separate government fee per dependent.

These figures reflect current government charges and typical market rates, not a fixed FZVS quote. Because your total depends on company category, visa type, and dependents, we provide an itemised quote after reviewing your file, with no hidden charges added later.

Why Choose FZVS

Our Employment Visa Services in Dubai are built around getting the sequence right the first time. A skipped medical, a lapsed establishment card, or a mismatched contract detail is the most common reason files stall past the 60-day entry permit window. We track every deadline, keep your labour file compliant with WPS, and coordinate directly with MOHRE, GDRFA, and ICP so you are not chasing updates yourself. If you already work with us on company formation or corporate PRO support, your records are already on file, which speeds up verification for every new hire.

FAQs

1) Who pays for the employment visa, the employer or the employee?

Under UAE labour law, the employer is legally responsible for 100% of the work permit and residence visa cost.

2) How long does the process take?

End-to-end processing typically runs 7 to 21 working days once the labour quota and entry permit are approved, though express options can shorten this.

3) Can an employee already in the UAE avoid leaving the country?

In many cases, yes. If the employee holds a valid visa, we can apply for an in-country status change instead of exit and re-entry.

4) What happens if the medical test or Emirates ID step is delayed?

The entry permit carries a 60-day window to complete formalities. Missing it can require restarting the process, which is why we track each deadline proactively.

5) Do you use Amer or Tasheel typing centres?

No. Typing and document preparation are handled in-house by our own specialised personnel, which is how we keep turnaround to around 20 minutes once your documents are complete.

6) How do I know my file was actually submitted?

We send a WhatsApp update with document details at each stage and share a Google Drive folder containing copies of everything filed, so you always have proof of the work done on your account.
