How visa sponsorship works for hospitality jobs in the UAE

Normally the employer applies for the work visa (a few schemes, such as the Green Visa, allow self-sponsorship). Once you are in the country it becomes a residence visa, which is valid for two years and can be renewed. Mainland employers go through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation; free-zone employers through their free zone authority.

Hotel, restaurant and catering groups recruit many roles from abroad. Check what the posting includes besides salary: accommodation, meals and transport are often part of a hospitality package and change what the pay is worth.

General information, not advice on your case; rules change. Check with UAE government portal: work visa (opens in new tab) or Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (opens in new tab) before you sign or pay anything.
