Claire Dubois3 viewsA company in Dubai has offered me a job and suggested I come on a visit visa and start work while they process my employment visa. Is this allowed?
No. Working on a visit visa is not permitted in the UAE, and it can lead to fines for you and the employer, and even a ban. A legitimate employer should apply for your entry permit (employment) first, and you enter on that. You can then change status and complete the medical test and Emirates ID within the permitted period. If they insist you work before your permit, treat it as a warning sign about the company.
