Work Permit Essential For Golden Visa Holders Even If They’re Employed In Public Sector

Recently, the UAE government gave Golden Visas to people who were eligible for it. But do you still need a work permit to work at a private company in the UAE? To answer this question, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) wrote on Twitter: “Kindly be informed that every employee must have a valid work permit along with the residence visa to render his or her services to the establishment under private sector.”

MOHRE clarified that this permit is given in three cases:

  1. Individuals who were not working at the time of getting the Golden Visa if they wish to work for an employer.

2. When a current employer wishes to renew the work permit and contract for the holders of the Golden Visa after the expiry of the work permit.

3. When a Golden Visa employee joins a new job with another employer.

The same procedures would be followed by the Ministry when issuing work permits if the worker has a Golden Visa sponsored by his or her family member.
