Journey Process to Get Employment Visa
File Opening
"Sponsor File Opening" refers to the procedure of creating a sponsor file in order to sponsor a family member's visa. The sponsor file contains personal and financial information about the sponsor as well as information on the sponsored family member, and it is used by UAE immigration officials to determine if the sponsor is eligible to sponsor the family member's visa.

Entry Permit
Upon receipt of work permit approval, the Ministry issues an Employment Entry Visa also known as a pink visa) which allows applicants to legally enter the UAE. This permit is valid for 2 months from the date of issue and allows the holder to remain in the UAE for a period of 30 days, extendable twice while the formal work permit is being approved.

Change Status
There are two options to enter the country and begin the work permit process. If the Entry Visa was ready prior to arrival, then the employee picks it up on arrival at the airport. If the employee was already in the UAE on another type of visa, they will have to apply for a visa ‘change of status’ after the entry visa is issued (or they can leave and re-enter the country with the Entry Visa).
Once the employee enters the country, they have sixty days in which to complete all the formalities required to get a work permit and residence visa. It is advisable to get these procedures done as soon as possible rather than waiting till the last moment.
