There are several documents that the company must arrange for its employees so they can stay in the country working and residing legally. Still, it’s also essential to know the difference between all of them to avoid confusion.
Employment Visa: this is the first document that the employee receives, and it has a validity of 30 days. It’s used to enter legally to the UAE to start the process of getting the work permit. It’s like an entry permit, and it could be extended just once, so the employee has a maximum of 60 days to finish the paperwork and get the work permit and residence visa.
Work Permit: this is the final document that the employee receives after finishing all the steps of the process for getting the work permit, and it has a 1-3 year validity depending on the application. It’s also known as the Labour Card.
Residence Visa: The residence visa allows the expatriate to stay in the UAE for three years while they’re still working for a company in the country.
