UAE Resumes Work Permit Processing

The UAE's Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) has recommenced the issuance of work permits for specific occupations that were previously halted.

For qualified professionals looking for a new job or changing employers, this is a good development. Public relations representatives announced that work permit applications that had been delayed are now being completed without any problems, which is a relief for businesses and professionals with the necessary skills who have been dealing with delays and uncertainty for the past few weeks.

According to recent reports, certain Professionals of Other Nationalities (PROs) have had their work permits approved without any issues, which is good news for both the applicants and the employers. A public relations manager at a business services organization in Dubai said that, as of January 24, offer letters can be prepared without prompts requesting different nations, and the procedure is being finished promptly for qualified experts from all nationalities.

There are two primary procedures in the United Arab Emirates for obtaining a work permit and visa: the "inside country job offer letter" and the "inside transfer application." The "inside transfer application" enables UAE-based workers to change employers without having to leave the nation. In contrast, the "inside country job offer" applies to candidates who have received a new job offer and are based in the UAE. This expedites the procedure for people looking for new jobs in the mainland United Arab Emirates.

The restart of work permit processing was also confirmed by Horizon Gate Government Transactions Center representatives. An official confirmed, "We were not able to apply for those work permits earlier due to the diversity quota, but we are now able to do so as of yesterday, January 24.”
