I am just applying for the UAE Dubai work remotely visa.
Here is a guide:
The UAE work remotely visa allows individuals to live and work in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) while working remotely for an employer based outside of the country. If you are interested in living and working in the UAE while continuing to work remotely for your current employer, you may be able to apply for a work remotely visa. In this article, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to apply for a UAE work remotely visa.
It is important to note that Dubai has a separate system and requirement for applying than the other emirates in UAE.
Step 1: Check your eligibility
Before you begin the application process, it is important to make sure that you are eligible for a work remotely visa. In order to be eligible, you must be employed by a company based outside of the UAE and you must have a valid employment contract. You must also meet certain financial and health requirements.
For Dubai, you will need to earn a minimum of US$ 5,000 per month or US$ 60,000 per year salary, and will need to send last month’s payslip and 3 preceding months’ bank statements
For UAE you need a monthly income of USD 3,500 or more.
These are after tax.
I checked with them and they confirmed that if you get the UAE permit you can live and work anywhere within UAE including Dubai.
Step 2: Gather the necessary documents
Before you can apply for a work remotely visa, you will need to gather a number of documents to support your application. These documents may include:
- Your passport
- A copy of your employment contract
- A letter from your employer stating that you are allowed to work remotely from the UAE
- Evidence of your financial situation (e.g., bank statements, pay stubs)
- A copy of your medical insurance policy
Step 3: Complete the online application form
Once you have gathered the necessary documents, you will need to complete the online application form which is here for Dubai. You will need to provide personal and contact information, as well as information about your employer and your employment contract. You will also need to pay the application fee and upload the required documents.
Step 4: Wait for a decision
After you have submitted your online application, you will need to wait for a decision on your application. The processing time for a work remotely visa application can vary, so it is important to be patient. You can check the status of your application online using the reference number that was provided to you when you submitted your application.
Step 5: Get your visa
If your application is approved, you will receive a letter of confirmation and your visa will be attached to your passport. You will need to present this visa when you travel to the UAE.
It is important to note that the work remotely visa is a temporary visa to enter and then you will need to get it converted to a residence permit.
Step 6: Get Residence Permit
After you have got your visa, you will need to enter UAE to get the residence permit. You can do this by going to the typing center, doing healthcheck, and submitting documents as above, and then you will get your emirates ID and residence permit.
Overall, the process of applying for a UAE work remotely visa can be complex and it is important to follow the steps carefully in order to ensure the success of your application. If you have any questions or concerns about the application process, it is advisable to seek the advice of a qualified immigration lawyer or advisor.
