Navigating the UAE’s immigration and government procedures requires precision, compliance, and expert knowledge of evolving regulations. At Corcess Consulting, we provide end-to-end Immigration and Public Relations Officer (PRO) Services, ensuring seamless visa processing, labor approvals, and government liaison for businesses and individuals. From initial entry permits to long-term residency visas, our expertise simplifies complex bureaucratic processes while maintaining full compliance with UAE laws.

UAE Immigration Framework

The UAE offers a tiered visa system catering to investors, professionals, skilled workers, and dependents. Key visa categories include employment visas, investor visas (Golden Visa), family sponsorship, and long-term residency options. Each category has specific eligibility criteria, document requirements, and processing timelines. Our team stays updated on the latest immigration reforms—such as the expanded Golden Visa program and freelancer permits—to provide strategic advice tailored to your needs.

Visa & Immigration Services

We manage the entire visa lifecycle, ensuring timely approvals and compliance at every stage:

Entry Permits & Initial Approvals: Step-by-Step Process

The UAE work visa process follows a structured sequence under the latest MOHRE regulations, beginning with employment contract formalization and culminating in entry permit issuance. Here’s the complete workflow:

Stage 1: Employment Contract Submission

The process initiates when the employer submits a digitally signed offer letter and employment contract through the MOHRE’s Tas’heel portal. The contract must specify:

  • Job title aligned with MOHRE’s occupational classification
  • Salary structure meeting UAE’s minimum wage requirements
  • Terms of employment compliant with Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021

Stage 2: Labor Approvals & Fees

Upon contract approval, employers must:

  • Pay labor insurance (approx. AED 3,600 for two years per employee)
  • Settle work permit fees (AED 250-3,500 based on company size and nature of position)
  • Obtain MOHRE work permit approval (typically within 2-3 working days)

Stage 3: Entry Permit Issuance

MOHRE then issues an electronic entry permit (valid for 60 days), enabling the employee to:

  • Enter UAE within the validity period
  • Complete mandatory pre-residency formalities

Stage 4: Pre-Residency Requirements

Within the 60-day window, the employee must complete:

  • Medical fitness test at approved centers (screens for communicable diseases)
  • Emirates ID biometrics (fingerprinting & photo capture)
  • Tawjeeh orientation (labor rights training for certain nationalities depending upon position)

Critical Compliance Notes:

  • Deadline Adherence: Failure to complete medical/ID procedures within 60 days invalidates the entry permit.
  • Documentation: Original passport, entry permit printout, and Emirates ID application must accompany all appointments.
  • Cost Transparency: Our PRO team provides a detailed fee breakdown covering all government charges.

Family Sponsorship & Dependent Visas

Expats earning a minimum salary (typically AED 5,000+) can sponsor family members. We handle:

  • Spouse and children’s residency applications
  • Document attestation (marriage/birth certificates)
  • Medical testing and Emirates ID processing

Golden Visa & Long-Term Residency

For high-net-worth investors, skilled professionals, and exceptional talents, we facilitate 10-year Golden Visas, including:

  • Property investor visas (AED 2M+ real estate investment)
  • Entrepreneur visas (startup founders with approved business plans)
  • Specialist talent visas (doctors, engineers, scientists, and artists)

1. Labor & Immigration Compliance

  • Work permit renewals and cancellations
  • Employee status modifications (transfer, termination, or freelance conversion)
