Dubai Mainland Employees: Golden Visa and Work Permit Transition
Considering a Golden Visa for homeownership in Dubai? Here’s what you need to know about your work permit.
Informing Your Employer:
Before getting the Golden Visa, it’s crucial to inform your current employer about the residency change. This helps them cancel your existing work permit and UAE residency visa smoothly. Transparent communication avoids legal complications.
Work Permit Cancellation:
Canceling a work permit involves submitting an application through the Ministry’s channels. You’ll need to provide the necessary data, documents, and confirm receiving all entitlements. This ensures a legal and efficient transition.
Reapplying for a Work Permit:
Once cancelled, you can sign a new employment contract (with your current or new employer) and have them apply for a new work permit based on your Golden Visa.
New Work Permit Requirements:
Clear colored photograph with white background
Valid passport (at least 6 months validity) and Golden Visa copy
Ministry-approved employment contract signed by both parties
Attested academic certificates by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation
Skill Levels 1 & 2: Bachelor’s Degree or higher
Skill Levels 3 & 4: Diploma or higher
Skill Level 5: High school certificate
Professional license (if applicable) for doctors, nurses, teachers, etc.
Key Takeaways:
Communicate clearly with your employer. Open communication ensures a smooth transition and avoids misunderstandings. Maintain legal compliance. Ensure all documentation and processes comply with UAE labor laws for a hassle-free transition. By following these steps, you can navigate the work permit transition smoothly while enjoying the benefits of the UAE Golden Visa.
