Job offer signed and returned - When is it supposed to start working?

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.

Dear Client,

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

The processing time for your employment visa in the UAE, including MOHRE approval and residence visa stamping, typically ranges from a few days to a few weeks.

Since you have 34 days left until your current visa expires, communicate closely with your employer's HR department to expedite the process and ensure a smooth transition without any overstay issues.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED
