Working in Dubai

 

Finding a job

Dubai is booming, so there are a lot jobs available as well.


There are also a lot of recruitment agencies, which are helping you out with finding the right job. They prefer to meet you in person first, so apply during a holiday to Dubai. If you rather apply from your home country, there might be a chance that they will not respond on your application at all.  

 

Jobs

Engineering, Hotel, Banking, Computer, Accounting, Nursing, Medical, Dental, and HR jobs are currently open in Dubai.

 

However, the following are ones in demand:

  • Healthcare
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Information Technology 
  • Hospitality/Hotels
  • Finance
  • Sales 

 

Employment Permit/Visa

Employment Visa or Permit shall be issued by the Immigration Department for a foreign national in order to work in a company in UAE after the approval from Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. Employment permit/visa allows the holder to enter UAE once for a period of 30 days and are valid for a period of 2 months. When the employee entered the country on the basis of the employment visa the sponsoring company should arrange to complete the formalities of his residence stamping. It is the preliminary stage to arrange for the health card and medical fitness examination for the employee from a government health center. The employee must undergo for a medical test and obtain a medical certificate. Once the medical certificate is issued by the health department an application for Labour Card should be submitted to the Ministry of Labour & Social Affairs within 30 days of the employees entry into the country. The next step is to submit the application to Immigration Department for stamping the residency on employee's passport. All the above formalities should be completed within 60 days of the arrival of the employee in UAE.
