The term Work visa uae is a broad, commonly used phrase that generally refers to the entire suite of permits and approvals required for a foreign national to be employed in the country. It is not a single document but a process that begins with the employer securing a quota and then a work permit from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). This initial approval allows for the issuance of an Entry Permit, enabling the prospective employee to travel to the UAE. Upon arrival, the individual transitions from an "employment entry permit" holder to a "resident" through a process called "status change." This involves a medical fitness test, application for an Emirates ID, and the final stamping of the Residence Visa in the passport, which is officially the work visa that allows them to live and work legally.
