Employment Visa Processing (Full MOHRE + ICP Chain)

Offer letter to Emirates ID — the complete work visa chain for your employees.

Quick answer: A UAE employment visa involves two stages: MOHRE labour approvals (offer letter, work permit, contract) and ICP immigration steps (entry permit or status change, medical fitness, Emirates ID biometrics, residence stamping, and ILOE insurance). Al Karam types and processes the entire chain, typically completing it within 5–10 working days.

Hiring in the UAE means navigating a precise sequence: quota availability, offer letter generation, DIC insurance, work permit payment, e-channel entry permit, inside-country status change or entry, Tawjeeh awareness class, medical fitness test, health insurance, ILOE job-loss insurance, Emirates ID biometrics, and finally residence stamping. Miss a step or a deadline and fines start.

We run this chain daily for companies across Sharjah and the UAE. For employers we also manage quota requests, company code setup, WPS registration, labour contract amendments and renewals — so your HR is effectively outsourced to a team that lives inside these systems.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an employment visa take in the UAE?

With documents ready and quota available, the full chain typically completes in 5–10 working days. Express medical and priority services can compress this.

Costs vary by skill level, company category and insurance choices. WhatsApp us the profession and we reply with a full itemised quote — no hidden add-ons.

Does the employee need to exit the UAE?

Usually not — inside-country status change converts a visit visa to employment without leaving.

What is ILOE insurance and is it mandatory?

ILOE is the mandatory job-loss insurance for employees; registration is required and fines apply for missing it. We register your staff as part of the chain.
