A UAE employment visa is a residence permit that lets a foreign national live and work in the country under the sponsorship of a licensed employer. It combines two federal workflows behind the scenes — a MOHRE work permit on the labour side and an ICP or GDRFA residency visa on the immigration side — that feel like a single process from the outside but need to be filed correctly in sequence. Ampsy Consultancy manages the full flow for employers and incoming staff, from the first work permit application through to Emirates ID collection.
MOHRE Work Permit: We file the labour approval that authorises the employer to sponsor the role, matched to the correct skill level.
Entry Permit & Status Change: For candidates outside the UAE, we secure an entry permit; for those already here on another visa, we manage the in-country status change.
Medical Fitness & Emirates ID: We coordinate the mandatory medical fitness test and biometric appointment so results and the ID application move without delay.
Residency Stamping: The final step in the process, formally activating the employee's UAE residence on their passport.
Family Sponsorship Follow-On: Once the employee's own visa is active and salary requirements are met, we handle sponsoring their spouse and children as a next step.
A skill level booked incorrectly, a medical test skipped for a week, or a status change filed too close to a visa's expiry can each stall an employee's start date. Ampsy Consultancy keeps every step of the employment visa process moving in the right order, for a single hire or an entire team.
