Dubai Visa, Residency and Sponsorship Questions and Answers It is illegal to work on a visa other than a valid employment visa in Dubai. Clearly, any employer asking you to start work immediately or without a valid employment visa is not in compliance with legal requirements. If you choose to begin work without a valid employment visa, you: 1. give up you chances of using the Labour Code or having the Labour Ministry to mediate your case in the event of a dispute with your employer; 2. run the risk of being caught, fined and deported. You will also be blacklisted such that you may never return on an employment visa to the UAE. In many cases, illegal laborers spend jail time prior to deportation and their retina scans are kept active to effect the blacklisting. Besides being sponsored by my employer, how else can I get a UAE residency visa? - You have three options: 1. Set up and register your own company in Dubai. Your business can then be your sponsor. Note however that you’ll be required to have a local partner, i.e., a UAE citizen. 2. Set up a consultancy off of a free zone to become eligible for both residency and work permits 3.Buy a property so that the property developer becomes your sponsor for residency. Note however that this does not entitle you to work in the UAE. Can someone who is not a UAE national sponsor a resident? - Yes. This is possible through secondary sponsorship. Secondary sponsors are sponsored residents, usually employed males who would like to have their wife and children live with them in the UAE. Can women be secondary sponsors as well? - Yes, women can sponsor their children if they’re divorced or widowed. Can a married woman sponsor her husband and children? - Yes, she can, but only under certain circumstances and with prior approval by both the Depart of Labour and the Department of Immigration and Naturalisation. Wives sponsoring husbands are not customary. In most cases, approval is granted if the wife-sponsor has a profession of strategic and economic importance such as teachers or medical personnel. What are the qualifying criteria for secondary sponsors? - Employed persons may sponsor only their immediate family, and must meet the minimum salary requirement for sponsorship. The consent and signature of the primary sponsor is required before an employee may sponsor their family. mai multe depspre viza cautati in FILES al paginii noastre
