How visa sponsorship works for IT & software 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.

Most IT roles are hired on the employer's standard work visa. Check the posting for the job title the visa will carry and whether the employer pays the visa costs and your flight.

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.
