All individuals who intend to be employed in UAE require a visa to be stamped on their passport to change their immigration status to Resident in UAE. Our outsource PRO Services division will remove the hassle of this process of stamping visas for your employees or business partners.
A medical card is a prerequisite for Visa Stamping. We will assist you in obtaining medical certificate and medical card from the Ministry of Health prior to stamping visa in the Passport.

How many days does Visa Stamping take in Dubai?
We will deliver your completed medical card within 3 days.
In order to complete the visa stamping process, the Immigration Department requires the following documents:
Normally, the residence visa will be stamped in the Passport within 10 days and will be valid for 2 years, 3 years if the employer is a government entity or a free zone company (free zone visa).
Your residence visa will expire after 2-3 years depending on the employer and it could be renewed if both parties (the employer & the employee) agree to keep the Employer-Employee relationship. Your residence visa will also expire (or be void) if you reside outside of UAE for a period of over 6 months, you would need a visa renewal in this case. In both of the situations, the person who needs their visa renewed will, mandatorily, have to take another medical test and apply for a new Resident ID.
After the expiration of the employment visa, the individual is offered a grace period of 30 days. However, it is always advised that the process begins well in-time so that no fines are enforced upon the individual.
Expatriate residents, employers, and employees may sponsor their families in the UAE provided they have a valid residency permit.
Residents of the UAE, regardless of their nationality, could sponsor their families (Spouse, Children, and/or Parents). Of course, there are certain requirements to be fulfilled in order to sponsor family members.
An individual who wishes to sponsor their immediate family member (Wife and/or children) must be under a profession that allows them to sponsor the family. There are certain professions that do not allow an individual to sponsor their family.
