About this service
Employment Visa with Qube Business Solutions
Hiring in the UAE requires a MOHRE work permit and a residency visa for each employee. The two run in sequence, and both must be in place before an individual can lawfully begin work.
Hiring in the UAE runs through two authorities. MOHRE issues the work permit and registers the employment contract, while immigration issues the entry permit and residency. Both must complete before the employee can lawfully start, and the sequence cannot be shortened by starting work early.
Your visa quota is set by your licence type and the size of your registered premises. Companies on virtual office packages are usually limited to one to three visas, and expanding beyond that means upgrading the office. We check your available quota before you extend an offer to a candidate.

The difference
Why choose our employment visa service?
What you actually get when you hand this over to our team.
02
Contracts registered correctly
The MOHRE contract governs the relationship in any dispute. We ensure it reflects the agreed terms rather than a generic template.
03
In-country candidates converted
Where your hire is already in the UAE on a visit visa, we process a status change instead of an exit and re-entry.
04
Offer letter to Emirates ID managed
Work permit, entry permit, medical, biometrics and stamping are handled as one continuous process with progress updates.
05
Insurance obligations flagged
Health insurance is mandatory and its absence blocks the residency stage. We tell you what cover is required before you reach it.
06
Cancellations handled cleanly
When staff leave, we process the cancellation properly so your quota is released and no liability remains open.
