What Is a Quota Request in the UAE?
A quota request in the UAE is an official application submitted to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) to obtain or increase a company’s work permit quota. The quota determines how many employees a company is authorised to hire under its establishment, based on factors such as business activity, office space, company classification, and compliance status.
Before issuing new work permits, companies must ensure that sufficient labour quota is available in MOHRE’s system. If the approved quota has been fully utilised, an additional quota request must be submitted and approved before proceeding with hiring new employees.
At Dar Alnukhba Customer Care Center, we assist businesses in preparing and submitting quota requests through official MOHRE channels. Our team carefully reviews trade licence details, tenancy contracts, company size, and compliance history to ensure the request meets regulatory requirements. We manage the entire process efficiently to help companies secure workforce approvals without delays or complications.
With professional guidance and accurate documentation, businesses can expand their workforce legally and continue operations smoothly under UAE labour regulations.
