UAE New Work Permit Services Through Dar Alnukhba

Official MOHRE Work Permit Processing for Employers

Obtaining a new work permit in the UAE is a mandatory step for employers hiring employees from inside or outside the country. The work permit, issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), legally authorises a company to employ a worker in accordance with UAE labour laws and approved company activities.

At Dar Alnukhba Customer Care Center, we provide complete assistance with new MOHRE work permit issuance in Dubai and across the UAE. Our team ensures that all required documents — including company records, employee details, and supporting approvals — are accurately prepared and submitted through official channels.

We carefully review each application to confirm compliance with labour regulations, company classification requirements, and skill level criteria. From initial application submission to approval follow-up, we manage the entire process efficiently to help employers avoid delays, penalties, or rejections.

With our professional guidance, businesses can secure work permits quickly and confidently, ensuring employees are legally authorised to begin work without complications.

A new work permit is an official authorisation issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) that allows an employer to legally hire a foreign worker in the UAE. It enables the issuance or transfer of a worker’s employment status under a licensed UAE company. Once the work permit is approved, the employee can proceed with the required employment visa and residency procedures under the relevant immigration authority.

MOHRE typically processes a new work permit within two working days, provided that all required documents are complete and the company holds a valid trade licence with no active violations. At Dar Alnukhba Customer Care Center, we review all documents carefully to help ensure smooth and timely approval.

Yes. A worker can transfer to a new employer through MOHRE’s Transfer Work Permit process, subject to certain conditions:

  • The previous work permit must be cancelled
  • The application must be submitted within 90 days of cancellation
  • The new occupation must align with the company’s registered activities
  • The worker must not have an active work permit at the time of application

Our team assists employers in handling the transfer process efficiently and in compliance with MOHRE regulations.

Yes. MOHRE allows applications across all skill levels and professions, provided regulatory conditions are met.

  • Skill levels 1–5 require certificate verification
  • Regulated professions (such as medical, education, legal, or sports roles) require additional professional licences
  • The job role must align with the company’s licensed activities

We ensure all eligibility requirements are properly reviewed before submission.

MOHRE allows certain changes, including nationality updates and limited worker replacements within six months, subject to official conditions. The profession and gender must remain unchanged during replacement, and entry permits must be cancelled where applicable. Occupation changes follow separate MOHRE procedures and must comply with company activity regulations.

If the application is not completed within MOHRE’s required timeframe — or if documents are incomplete — the request may be delayed or rejected. Additionally, employers may face restrictions if their trade licence is expired or if violations are recorded in MOHRE’s system. Timely submission is essential to avoid penalties and service interruptions.

A work permit authorises the employer to legally hire the employee in the UAE.

An employment visa (residency visa) is processed after the work permit approval and includes:

  • Medical fitness test
  • Emirates ID biometrics
  • Residency stamping by GDRFA or ICP

Both steps must be completed before the employee can legally begin working in the UAE.
