Earlier this year, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) further streamlined the process for obtaining work permits and residency visas for private sector employees.
The Gulf nation introduced the “Work Bundle” platform, which integrates services from various departments to expedite the issuance of work permits and residency visas. Initially launched in Dubai, the project will expand to other areas in its next phase.
The involved entities include the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization, the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security, the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, and Dubai Health.
This initiative aims to support private and web 3 firms by offering a single platform for employment services, including renewal, cancellation, medical examinations, and fingerprinting.
