Do I need a work permit to work in the UAE if I have a Golden Visa?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope you are well!

I am a Golden Visa holder under the category of Artist. I am currently working as a freelancer with a Sole Professional Licence issued by DDA Media City.

I have spoken with the GDRFA and they have informed me that as a golden visa holder, I do not require any additional permits or licenses to legally work in the UAE as a freelancer.

Is this true and are there any limitations if I do not have a work permit in addition to my Golden Visa?

Thank you in advance!

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

As a Golden Visa holder in the UAE, you may not need additional permits or licenses to work as a freelancer, but it's important to verify this with the relevant authorities and double-check the rules with the Department of Economic Development (DED) in your emirate.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,
