Hello,

Typically, it takes around 2 to 3 working days for MOHRE (Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation) to process and issue a work permit in the UAE, provided that all the required documents are complete and all conditions are met.

However, the timeline may vary depending on the type of job and the specific procedures of the company.

For more accurate information, it is recommended to contact MOHRE directly or check with the company that has submitted the application.

We are honored to provide you with specialized legal support for your case.

If you have any further inquiries regarding your matter, we would be happy to assist you.

The duration of issuing a work permit varies based on several factors, including fulfilling the conditions and required documents and the speed of the facility’s response in providing missing information, if any.

In general, the process may take from several days to a few weeks.

It is recommended to follow up on the status of the application through the inquiry services available on the Ministry’s website or smart application and ensure that all required documents are submitted accurately to speed up the issuance process.
