Mainland visa types in the UAE
Employment visa
For staff hired by a mainland company. It involves labour approvals (work permit) and immigration steps, within the company’s quota.
Investor visa
For shareholders of a mainland company, subject to eligibility conditions.
Partner visa
For partners in a mainland company, depending on the legal form and shareholding.
Family / dependant visa
Residents who meet the income and housing requirements can sponsor eligible family members.
Mainland visa processing steps
- Check company establishment cards and quota.
- Obtain labour approval / work permit where applicable.
- Apply for the entry permit or change of status.
- Complete the medical fitness test.
- Complete Emirates ID biometrics.
- Issue the residence visa and sign the labour contract where applicable.
We coordinate each step and tell you exactly what the employee or investor needs to bring.
Visa renewal and cancellation
Visa renewals must be planned before expiry, with valid company documents, medical test and Emirates ID renewal. When staff leave, visa cancellation and labour cancellation must be done correctly to free the quota and avoid fines. We keep track of dates and handle the paperwork.

PRO services in Dubai
A PRO (public relations officer) handles government transactions for a company. Our PRO services in Dubai include:
- Trade license renewals and amendments
- Immigration and labour establishment cards
- Employment, investor and family visa applications
- Emirates ID applications and renewals
- Visa and labour cancellations

- Offer letter or contract details for employees
- Educational certificates where the job title requires them, attested where requested
- Existing visa and Emirates ID copies for renewals
Requirements vary by case; we give you a precise list.
Emirates ID services
Every resident needs a valid Emirates ID. We handle new applications, renewals and replacements for lost or damaged cards, and help with data updates when your visa or personal details change.
Ongoing PRO support for companies
Growing companies often have a steady flow of transactions: new hires, renewals, departures, licence changes and document requests. A regular PRO arrangement gives you a single contact who knows your company file and your deadlines. We can track expiry dates for licences, establishment cards, visas and Emirates IDs, and remind you in advance.
- One point of contact for government transactions
- Expiry tracking for licences and visas
- Organised records of submissions and receipts
- Fast response on WhatsApp for urgent questions
Visa status changes and transfers
Employees moving between companies, investors becoming employees, or residents switching from employment to a freelance visa all need careful sequencing. Cancellation, grace periods, new approvals and medical tests must happen in the right order. We map out the steps in advance so there is no gap that leads to fines.
Golden visa and other long-term residence
Some investors, professionals and other categories may qualify for long-term residence such as the Golden Visa, subject to the criteria set by the authorities. Eligibility depends on specific conditions that change over time. If you think you might qualify, we can review your documents and explain the current criteria before you apply.
Investor and partner visa requirements
Investor and partner visas are linked to your shareholding in a mainland company. The company must have valid licence and establishment cards, and the shareholder must be listed correctly in the company documents. Depending on the visa category, the authorities may ask for evidence of share value or other conditions. We check your company documents first, then prepare the visa application and guide you through medical and Emirates ID steps.
Medical test and Emirates ID: what to expect
For most residence visas, the applicant attends a medical fitness test at an approved centre and an Emirates ID biometrics appointment. Bring your original passport and the documents listed in your appointment message. Results and card delivery follow the authority’s own timelines. We book where possible, send you the details, and follow up until the visa and Emirates ID are complete, so your staff know exactly where to go and what to bring.
Cost of mainland visa and PRO services
Fees are set by the relevant authority and change from time to time, so we do not publish prices online. Contact us for current pricing and a written breakdown for your case. For companies needing ongoing support, we can discuss a regular arrangement based on your volume of transactions.
