What documents do I need to live and work in Dubai?

To live and work in Dubai, you'll need a residency visa, an Emirates ID, and a work permit from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). The process includes securing a job offer first, and costs can range from AED 3,000 to AED 5,500 depending on the type of visa and services required. As someone who moved to Dubai in 2022, I found it essential to keep all documents handy, especially when dealing with the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA). Pro tip: Start gathering all necessary documents early to avoid last-minute hassles!
