The joining date is not determined after signing the offer letter. What to do?

Dear sir/madam,

I am on a visit visa currently. I have signed an offer letter (no MOHRE contract yet). They didn't inform me of the joining date yet.

Also, I'm wondering what are the next steps. They informed me in the offer letter that an employment visa will be provided from the company's end. But they didn't even ask for any documents yet (such as a passport copy, visit visa copy, etc).

If this is something unusual as per UAE's law. How can I deal with it?

Welcome to the UAE,

We wish you a happy stay!

You can use the job offer number to validate the application through the website of the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (Inquiry Services – Application Status).

If you have any queries regarding employment contracts in the UAE, you can contact the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation by phone or email, or via instant chat service.

Thank you for the response!

As I informed you earlier, they only offered me the initial offer letter. They didn't send me the MOHRE contract yet.

The signed letter is treated as a contract.

Dear questioner,

The company must hand over the appointment papers, if it did not receive this, this is unusual.
