What documents do I need to get a work visa in UAE?

To get a work visa in the UAE, you'll need several key documents: a valid passport, a passport-sized photo, the employment contract, and a medical fitness certificate. In my experience, the medical test cost around AED 300 at an approved healthcare center and is usually handled through your employer as part of the onboarding process. It’s important to ensure that your employer is registered with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) to avoid any issues.
