Visas & job search

Visit visa or employment visa: what you can and cannot do

Searching for work from inside the UAE is common, but the visa rules are strict. Here is the short version, based on official UAE Government guidance.

Jobseeker visit visa

Eligible skilled professionals and recent graduates of top-ranked universities can enter for 60, 90 or 120 days to look for work, without a local sponsor.

Check eligibility on u.ae

No work on a visit visa

You can network and interview, but working on a visit or tourist visa — paid or unpaid — is illegal. Work starts only once your employer has your MOHRE work permit.

MOHRE work permits on u.ae

Employment visa

After you accept an offer, your employer arranges the work permit, entry permit, medical test, Emirates ID and residence visa, and pays the costs.

ICP residency guidance

Moving from abroad? Our relocation services in Dubai cover visas, housing and your first 30 days.

Recruitment scam red flags in the UAE

Under UAE labour law, the employer bears recruitment, travel and residency-permit costs — not the worker. NamasteAi never charges candidates for job offers, interviews, visas or placements. If someone asks you for money in our name, it is a scam. Read your rights on u.ae.

A request for a "visa", "processing" or "medical" fee before you start

An offer without any interview, or after a short chat-app exchange

Emails from free webmail addresses rather than a company domain

Salaries far above the market for the role, with pressure to decide today

Requests for passport scans or bank details before a written offer

An agency that cannot show it is licensed by MOHRE

FAQ

Jobs in Dubai: job seeker questions

How to search, apply and stay safe when looking for work in the UAE and the wider Gulf.

Still have questions?

Our consultants answer within one business day.

Ask our team

Decide which roles and emirates you are targeting, adapt your CV to Gulf conventions, then apply through curated platforms such as TalentBridgeAi, employer careers pages and LinkedIn. Many roles in Dubai are also filled through referrals, so networking matters. Once you receive an offer, your employer applies for your work permit and residence visa.

You can search and attend interviews while visiting, and the UAE offers a jobseeker visit visa of 60, 90 or 120 days for eligible skilled professionals and recent graduates. However, it is illegal to work on a visit or tourist visa, paid or unpaid. You may only start work once your employer has obtained your work permit.

No. NamasteAi never charges candidates for job offers, interviews or placements; employers pay for recruitment. This matches UAE labour law, under which recruitment costs are borne by the employer. If anyone asks you for money in our name in exchange for a job or visa, do not pay and report it to us immediately.

Demand is consistently strong in technology and data, healthcare, financial services, construction and engineering, hospitality and tourism, logistics and aviation, and energy, including renewables. Emiratisation also creates dedicated opportunities for UAE Nationals in the private sector. The strongest candidates combine sector experience with regional knowledge and, where relevant, Arabic.

TalentBridgeAi focuses on mid-to-senior professionals — finance, technology, engineering, healthcare, sales and leadership roles across GCC industries. RoozgaarAi focuses on skilled trades and hands-on roles such as technicians, drivers, construction, hospitality and facilities staff, recruiting across Asia and the GCC.

Yes. Many employers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the wider Gulf hire internationally and sponsor employment visas for the right candidates. Make sure your CV clearly states your current location, notice period and willingness to relocate, and check the cost of living before accepting an offer.

Yes. You can build and download an ATS friendly CV free of charge on our job platforms. If you would prefer a recruiter to write or rewrite your CV and LinkedIn profile for you, our separate expert CV writing service is available on request and quoted after a short consultation.

Genuine employers do not charge fees for an offer or visa, they communicate from official company email domains, and they interview you before making a written offer with a clear job title, salary and benefits. Be cautious of offers made without an interview, pressure to pay quickly, or requests for passport and bank details over chat apps.
