What documents do I need to start working in Dubai?

To start working in Dubai, you will typically need a valid passport, a residency visa, and a work permit issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). Additionally, employment contracts and health insurance documents are often required. As someone who moved to Dubai in 2022, I found that having all these documents ready helped me secure a job quickly. Important: Ensure your employer sponsors your work visa for a smoother process.
