What documents are needed for a work visa in Dubai?

To secure a work visa in Dubai, you’ll need a job offer, a valid passport, and a medical fitness certificate. As someone who moved to Dubai in 2022, I found it essential to prepare all required paperwork ahead of time, including attested educational certificates and a no-objection certificate (NOC) from your previous employer if applicable. Pro tip: Ensure your medical fitness test is done at an approved health center to avoid delays with the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA).
