Employment Visa Expense and Procedures

The revised fee structure for issuing work permits is linked to a new classification system of companies based on the skills level and the diversity of workers.
The ministry will continue to exempt companies from paying the work permit fee to employ an Emirati worker or a GCC national, as well as exempt fishing boat facilities from work permit fees.
