UAE Slashes Residency Visa and Work Permit Processing Time to Just 5 Days

UAE office processing visas and work permits quickly.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has significantly reduced the processing time for residency visas and work permits from 30 days to just 5 days. This change comes with the launch of the second phase of the Work Bundle platform, aimed at streamlining and simplifying the hiring process for businesses and employees alike.

Key Takeaways

  • Processing time for residency visas and work permits reduced from 30 days to 5 days.
  • The second phase of the Work Bundle platform covers 600,000 companies and over seven million workers.
  • The platform simplifies eight work and residency procedures into one unified system.
  • The initiative is part of the UAE’s Zero Government Bureaucracy Programme.

Streamlined Procedures

The Work Bundle platform consolidates eight different work and residency procedures into a single, streamlined system. This includes issuing new work permits, requesting status adjustments, and handling Emirates ID, residency, and medical examination services. The platform also simplifies the renewal and cancellation of employment contracts, work permits, and residency visas.

Broad Implementation

Initially rolled out in Dubai in March, the Work Bundle platform is now being implemented across all seven emirates. The second phase will impact approximately 600,000 companies and more than seven million workers. The third phase is expected to cover domestic workers.

Unified Portal

The platform operates on the principle of requesting data only once, thereby reducing the need for multiple submissions of the same information. This approach significantly cuts down on the number of procedures and requirements, ensuring a more proactive service delivery.

Collaborative Effort

Several government ministries and federal authorities collaborated to develop the Work Bundle platform. These include the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, Customs and Port Security, Emirates Health Services (EHS), the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), and the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi.

Enhanced Efficiency

The Work Bundle platform offers a unified, secure, and reliable payment mechanism, ensuring speed, efficiency, and quality of services. The use of modern technology and digital platforms enhances collaboration among federal and local government entities, reducing the number of required visits and documents.

Future Prospects

The initiative is a significant step towards advancing the design and delivery of government services to meet future demand. It reflects the UAE’s commitment to simplifying procedures and requirements to save time and effort for users, in line with the UAE’s Zero Government Bureaucracy Programme.
