Mission visa

A Mission Visa is designed for professionals working on short-term projects with companies in the UAE. Holders of this visa are considered probationary workers, giving them legal permission to work temporarily on specific assignments.

How the Mission Visa Works

  1. Company Quota Application
    A UAE-based company first applies for a quota to sponsor the worker for a particular project.

  2. Document Submission
    The worker (who must be outside the UAE) provides necessary documents such as a valid passport to the sponsoring company.

  3. Visa Processing
    The company submits the application on behalf of the worker. Once approved—usually within a few weeks—the visa is issued.

  4. Travel & Work Commencement
    With the visa, the worker can travel to the UAE and begin work on the project.

  5. Labor Card Requirement
    To work legally, the worker must obtain a Labor Card, which serves as an official work permit during their stay.

  6. Reapplication for Future Projects
    If the worker is needed again for another project, the sponsoring company can reapply for a Mission Visa.

Key Benefits

  • Short-term legal work authorization in the UAE

  • Streamlined process for project-based employment

  • Eligibility to reapply for future projects as needed

How long is a Mission Visa valid for?

A Mission Visa allows you to enter the UAE once and is valid for 90 days (3 months). If you leave before it expires, the visa gets canceled. To return, you have to apply for a new Mission Visa..

Can I apply for a UAE Residence Visa once my Mission Visa has expired?

Whilst the applicant is under a Mission Visa in the UAE, it is not possible to apply for a residence visa for the applicant since the mission visa will need to be cancelled and this is only possible once the visa holder has exited the country.

What is the process for a UAE Mission Visa

The UAE Mission Visa process begins when a UAE-based company applies for a Mission Visa quota from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). Once the quota is approved, the company collects the necessary documents from the employee, including a valid passport and other required paperwork. The company then submits the employee’s visa application and documents to the UAE immigration authorities for processing. After a review period that typically takes a few weeks, the visa is approved, and the company provides the Mission Visa to the employee, who can then travel to the UAE to begin work on the short-term project.

Upon arrival, the employee and company apply for a Labor Card, which serves as the official work permit. A medical check may also be required as part of this process. Finally, the company applies for the employee’s residence permit, securing their legal status in the UAE for the duration of the project.

The UAE Mission Visa is ideal for professionals working on short-term assignments. It allows skilled workers to contribute to specific projects without a long-term commitment. The process is streamlined and efficient, offering the flexibility to enter and exit the UAE multiple times. Employees can easily renew the visa for future projects and enjoy the opportunity to explore the UAE during their stay.
