Working in UAE
Possible country route: Employer-sponsored work residence / Golden Visa. Standard employment residence is applied for by the employer. Golden Visa is a separate long-term route with category-specific eligibility; it is not included in every relocation offer.

What to check before applying
- Confirm the employment route. Ask which authority handles the work permit and residence.
- Verify costs and offer. For standard overseas hiring, official guidance assigns recruitment and residence processing costs to the employer.
- Complete arrival formalities. Follow the medical and Emirates ID instructions for your route.
