What documents do I need to apply for residency in UAE?

To apply for residency in the UAE, you'll need several key documents including a valid passport, a medical fitness certificate, and a passport-sized photo. Additionally, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) requires proof of employment, while the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) will need your visa application form filled out correctly. As someone who moved to Dubai in 2022, I recommend preparing all your documents in advance to speed up the process.
