Drive or fly for UAE company registration: Can I enter with a saudi residence visa?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am in the final process of opening a company in Abu Dhabi and currently living in Saudi Arabia on a residence visa.

Once the company registration is complete, I will apply for a UAE residence visa for myself.

My question is whether I can drive my car and enter the UAE with the residence invitation, or if it is mandatory to travel by air.

Dear questioner,

Concerning your inquiry above, please note that you can actually open a company inside the country and make a visa for the company, and as for your entry into the country, it is done in accordance with the regulations and laws in force inside the country, whether by air or land.

Please accept my full respect and appreciation!

Thanks, but I'm not asking if I can drive in UAE, I'm asking if I need a visit visa to access UAE via road or if I can finish my entry paper on the border using my employment visa or (إذن دخول).

Usually, how much time will it take to convert the employment visa to a residency, and the process, please?

Finish your entry paper on the border using your employment visa.
