Q: Good day, Madam, Please after thumbprint has been made by the employee, how long will it take the person to get his or her visa?

Q: Hi, A friend of mine (Now In India) applied for a job in a UAE company and he received the offer letter. He also submitted a signed JOC (Job offer certificate) before one month, but still did not receive the employment visa. When I called the Company HR department, he told me that the visa is under process and the current status is under security approval. My question is what's the security approval and how many days does it take for security approval? And when will he receive the visa?

Q: Hello, My employer, with whom I will sign the contract in UAE, has applied for my visa18 days ago, how long does it usually take for completing the full process of the visa? I am currently in Afghanistan.

Q: My visa is not yet approved by immigration but I have already signed my offer letter from my new company. It has been 2 months already without any information on my new visa. What could be the reason for the delay in my visa? My visa status is active until 9/04/2023.

Q: Hello sir, I received a job offer letter yesterday, which I signed and returned. They requested that I provide a copy of my passport, a photo, and a copy of my visa. I'm curious about the timeframe for obtaining the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) approval and when I can commence my employment. Currently, I have 34 days remaining until my visa expires.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

According to this Decree, tentative approval to admit a foreign worker for the purpose of employment in the UAE cannot be granted until an Employment Offer that conforms with the Standard Employment Contract is duly signed by the employee and presented to the Ministry of Labour.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
