Dubai Visa Requirements for Work or Visit

I was chatting with a friend back home on how her two sisters are faring in Dubai. We discussed salaries, companies, Dubai jobs, and the overall working conditions there. We agreed that compared to HongKong and other OFW attracting countries, it is easier to find employment and easier to enter Dubai. As I am also training my sights there for better career opportunities, I might as well post the requirements on how to get a work or visit visa to Dubai for Filipinos.

@ First you need to have a sponsor. It would be better if he/she is a close family member or an immediate relative and he/she needs to be a visa holder that is earning more than AED 4000 monthly.A visa application and a visa fee will be required from your sponsor.

@ If you do not have a relative there, you can get a company to sponsor you. But this will be a tricky process as it will entail fees on the part of the company.

@ A travel agent can also facilitate your visit visa especially if you will be staying in Dubai for less than a month. 

@ Validity for a Dubai visit visa is for 55 days only from the time of entry and can be renewed for another month.

Additional info:
For those who need to file for a residence visa, it can be done through buying a property or with the assistance of an employer.

For addtional details on getting a Dubai visa, you can check out http://www.dnrd.gov.ae. It is best that you use Google Chrome and enable transliteration since the website is in Arabic. 



Good luck to all aspiring job seekers out there!
