Many types of work visas are now available for Indians seeking employment in the UAE. Here's how to find out which visa is right for whom and what you need to consider before starting work in the UAE...

Dubai and Abu Dhabi are among the most popular job destinations for Indian youth. Their good salaries, tax-free income, and safe environment are the reasons why people seek jobs in large numbers.

The most common visa for working in the UAE is the Employment Visa. This visa is obtained when you receive a job offer from a company. The company sponsors your visa, and its validity is typically one to three years.

For freelancers or self-employed individuals, the Green Visa is considered preferable. This visa does not require an employer and is valid for approximately five years.

If someone wishes to stay in the UAE for a long time or has special qualifications in a particular field, they can obtain a Golden Visa. This is a long-term visa for five to ten years.

Choosing a visa depends on your job and work style. If you are employed in a company, an Employment Visa is suitable; if you want to work independently, a Green Visa is suitable; and if you want to build a long-term career, a Golden Visa is considered appropriate.

Before starting work in the UAE, it is important to understand some rules. Working on a visit or tourist visa is completely illegal. Procedures such as a work visa, medical test, and Emirates ID must be completed.

It is extremely important to avoid fake job offers. Always apply through authorized portals or genuine companies, as visa rules change from time to time.
