A person who is hired by a company to work in a country where they do not have permanent residency is known as a non-resident employee. Non-resident employees are subject to numerous regulations in the UAE, GCC, and KSA, such as requirements for work permits and restrictions on visas. Non-resident employees must receive work permits and visas from their employers, and they may also be required to receive housing and transportation benefits.
In managing the employment of non-resident employees, HR professionals play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with local immigration and labour laws, managing visa and work permit applications, and supporting and assisting employees moving abroad. Companies can attract and retain top talent while also ensuring compliance with local regulations and requirements through effective non-resident employee management.
