A type of visa called an employment visa lets foreign nationals legally work in the UAE, GCC, and KSA. Employers in the United Arab Emirates, the Gulf Cooperation Council, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) are required to obtain employment visas for their foreign employees. These employees must have valid passports and meet specific requirements established by the respective governments. A work visa is typically granted for a predetermined amount of time, though this can change depending on the country's labor laws and regulations.
The process of obtaining an employment visa can be complicated and time-consuming, requiring specific requirements to be met and detailed documentation to be submitted. To ensure compliance with labor laws and regulations, employers in the UAE, GCC, and KSA must adhere to specific procedures and guidelines when applying for and issuing employment visas.
