Frequently Asked Questions
What is the processing time for a UAE Work Visa?
Processing times generally range from two to four weeks, depending on the visa type and the authority involved (Mainland vs. Free Zone). Prowiden Overseas will provide you with estimated timelines and help expedite the documentation phase.
Can my family join me in the UAE?
Yes, most work visa holders can sponsor their dependents if they meet the minimum salary requirements. The process involves separate applications for residency and medical tests for adult family members. Our team can assist with the entire family sponsorship process.
What are the requirements for the Green Visa?
Requirements include a bachelor's degree or equivalent, a valid employment contract (for skilled workers), and a monthly salary of at least AED 15,000. We provide detailed guidance on these specific criteria to ensure your self-sponsored application is robust.
What should I do if my visa application is refused?
If your application is refused, Prowiden Overseas will analyze the reasons, such as document discrepancies or security clearances, and explore options for an appeal or a new application under a different category.
