UAE Simplifies Work Permit Process for Foreign Workers: New 2024 Guidelines

The UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) has unveiled a simplified four-step procedure for employers hiring foreign workers residing outside the country. This updated process applies to skilled and unskilled positions and represents the government’s ongoing efforts to enhance labour market efficiency.

To access the system, employers must log in using UAE Pass or their digital ID. After applying to official service channels, the Ministry conducts a completeness check. Complete applications receive immediate electronic approval, while incomplete submissions trigger notifications requesting missing information.

Final approval requires payment of federal fees plus either insurance or a bank guarantee, along with attachment of a signed job offer.

Do you need a new work permit for an employee from outside the country?
The Ministry’s website makes the process quick and easy with simple steps.

Skilled Worker Requirements:
MOHRE has established clear criteria for skilled labour classification:

  • Mandatory educational certificate verification through the Ministry of Higher Education (2-week processing)
  • Minimum monthly salary threshold of AED 4,000
  • Nine distinct skill levels, with certificates required for levels 1-5
  • Profession-specific licenses for healthcare, education, legal, and sports training roles

Documentation Checklist:
All applicants must provide:

  • Valid passport copy
  • Colored personal photo
  • Authenticated educational certificates (where applicable)
  • Special requirement: Pakistani, Afghan, Iraqi, and Iranian nationals must submit valid national ID cards showing both sides clearly

Establishment Eligibility:
Companies must meet three key conditions:

  1. Possess a valid trade license with no active violations
  2. Have the electronic quota allocation available
  3. Maintain proper legal authorisation for permit application signing

Worker Qualifications:
Prospective employees must:

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Not holding an active UAE work permit
  • Meet all profession-specific requirements

The system allows work permit replacement within six months of issuance under specific circumstances, including nationality changes, while maintaining the same job title and gender. This process requires cancelling the original entry permit through the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security.

This streamlined process reflects the UAE’s commitment to:

  • Enhancing labour market transparency
  • Reducing administrative burdens
  • Ensuring regulatory compliance
  • Maintaining the country’s position as a global employment hub

The updated procedures particularly benefit small and medium enterprises seeking to navigate the foreign worker recruitment process more efficiently. MOHRE emphasises that these changes align with the UAE’s broader economic diversification goals and labour market modernisation initiatives.
