work permit dubai

Found a part-time or temporary job? These are the UAE Labour Law regulations.

Dubai: If you have found a temporary work option in the UAE while you are looking for a job or on unpaid leave during COVID-19, you have the option of legally working with a new employer through a temporary work permit, which is issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).

You can also apply for a temporary work permit if you wish to work for two employers in the UAE, with your original employer permitting you to work part-time for a second one. The permit requires establishments to submit the application on behalf of the worker and has very specific guidelines on the length of the contract as well as the maximum number of hours a person can work for the second employer. This permit can also be applied for in case you have a case with the UAE Labour Court against your current employer, and have found a second job, or if your employer has not paid your wages for over two months. So, if you fall under any of these categories, here is all you need to know about the temporary work permit.

What is a temporary work permit?

It is a service provided by MOHRE to recruit a national or expatriate worker residing in the UAE to carry out certain work within a period not exceeding six months. Applications can be printed at the service centres ‘Tas’heel’ or through companies, which have a company card registered with MOHRE, through the Ministry’s website or MOHRE app.

Once the temporary work permit application is filled out and the necessary documents submitted, the application will be transferred to the Ministry for verification. If there are any requirements which have not been met, such as missing documents, the applying company will be notified of it and asked to complete the requirements through Tas’heel service centres. If all the conditions are fulfilled, the work permit will be issued. The company can print the approval notice by visiting the Ministry’s website www.mohre.gov.ae.

Which documents are required?

The applying company would need to submit the following documents:

• A copy of both establishments’ trade licenses (the current establishment and the establishment taking on the worker on a part-time basis).

• A color photograph of the worker, with a white background.

• A copy of the worker’s passport.

• If an academic qualification is required (post-secondary diploma, university degree or equivalent), a copy of it should be attached. The certificate should be attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

• A letter of approval issued by the competent authority needs be attached if required (doctor, pharmacist, nurse, and teacher).

• A copy of the contract.

• No objection certificate from the sponsor.

• A copy of the worker’s visa that includes the sponsor or establishment name. The visa should be valid for more than six months.

Terms And Conditions

The terms and conditions can vary based on the following categories:

Workers registered in the Ministry can be issued a temporary work permit under the following conditions:

• The permit and residency visa needs to be valid for more than six months.

• The temporary work permit’s period should not exceed six months or the current work contract’s expiry date (with the first employer), whichever is earlier.

• Approval of authorised signatories of the current and applying establishments.

The following workers not registered with MOHRE can be issued a temporary work permit:

• If the worker is a government employee.

• Male or female students over the age of 18, who are under the sponsorship of their relatives, schools, or universities, on the condition that the visa profession is listed as ‘student’.

• Females (from the age of 18 years) who are under the sponsorship of their relatives.

• Husbands of UAE national women.

• Children of UAE national women.

However, they need to fulfil the following conditions:

• The worker and his/her non-national relatives shall have a valid residence visa stamped in the passport.

• The guardian’s approval

• Submitting approval of the authority relevant to the profession, if applicable (For example, the Ministry of Health and Prevention, Ministry of Education, Community Development Authority, etc.)

Other cases:

The Ministry may approve to grant a temporary work permit, without satisfying the condition related to the former employer’s approval and the validity of the card and residence visa, in the following cases:

• A labour complaint that is referred by the Ministry to a court of law.

• If it is confirmed that the employer failed to pay wages for a period exceeding two months according to the wages protection office report or the labour relation offices report.

General conditions:

• The applying establishment trade license should be valid.

• The new labour profession should be suitable with the establishment activity.

• The would should not be below 18 years old.
