What documents do I need for a work visa in UAE?

To obtain a work visa in the UAE, you typically need a valid passport, a job offer letter, and a medical certificate. Additionally, you will need to submit documents to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) and the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA). In my experience moving to Dubai in 2022, having all paperwork ready can speed up the process significantly. Pro tip: Always check if your employer is providing visa sponsorship to avoid complications.
