How to obtain a freelance Visa while outside UAE

Obtaining a freelance visa in the UAE has become increasingly popular. The steps for this are as follows:

Submission of documents

Firstly, you will need to submit your documents to our team so they can review and ensure everything is approved by our PROs. The required documents are:

- Passport copy

- Emirates ID (for those who have previously had a UAE visa)

- Visa page copy (for those who have previously had a UAE visa)

- Attested degree (if available)

- Entry stamp or visit visa paper (if available)

- Visa cancellation paper (for those who have previously had a UAE visa)

- Digital passport photo

- For some preferred visa designations there will be additional requirements and documents.

Approval and Ministry of Labour (MOL) application

Secondly, our team will apply for the MOL contract which will take approximately 24 business hours. Once this has been received it will need to be signed and a thumb print (in ink) put into the signature box if required.

E-visa & Change of Status

After the signed MOL contract has been submitted we will apply for e-visa and change of status. This will take approximately five to seven working days.

Medical test, TAWJEEH and biometrics

Once we have received the e-visa and change of status we can get the papers typed for the medical test, TAWJEEH and biometrics (Emirates ID). Typing will take approximately 48 business hours. After the visa applicant has the typed papers they can proceed with their medical test and TAWJEEH (if required). Biometrics will follow after the ‘FIT’ medical test result has been received.

Visa stamping

When the biometrics has been completed you will need to submit all the documents and your passport. This is so we can proceed with the final stage of the process which is getting the visa page stamped into your passport. This will take approximately five working days.

Note: The Emirates ID will be delivered after the visa stamping. This will take approximately seven working days and is dependent on government processing at the time.

However, after applying for your freelance visa, you have 30 days to enter the UAE to complete other processe such as medical examinations and getting your fingerprints taken. Additionally, you need to be present to stamp your passport and other requirements.
