Understanding a UAE Work Permit
A UAE work permit serves as formal authorization from MOHRE, enabling expatriates to legally work in the country under a sponsor. It acts as a legal endorsement that aligns the employee and employer with UAE labor laws. Typically valid for up to two years, a work permit is linked to an employment agreement and must be up-to-date to avoid penalties or employment disruptions. Without a valid Dubai work permit, working in the private sector is considered unlawful, which can result in fines, legal issues, or deportation.
