How long does it take for an application of a residence visa in dubai?

Question

I want to know how long will it take from date of filing? Thank you.

Answer 1

Do you mean the work visa?

The procedure for obtaining the work visa from Dubai is, firstly the employer has to submit the application at Ministry of Labor for the initial approval. Normally it will take one week for the approval of visa committee, and sometimes they will forward the application to the inspection department for verification.  If it happens, then it will take some more time to complete the formalities of physical inspection to the sponsors/employers establishment.

Once they approved, the Immigration dept will issue the visa on the next day.

Cheers.
