What documents do I need to start working in the UAE?
To work in the UAE, you typically need a valid passport, a residence visa, and a work permit issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). As someone who moved to Dubai in 2022, I found that the work permit process requires a job offer and specific documents from your employer, which can take 1-2 weeks. Pro tip: Make sure your employer handles the visa process to avoid any paperwork hassles.
