Overview
What an entry permit covers
An entry permit is the pre-arrival approval that lets someone travel to the UAE specifically to take up employment, join family, or activate investor status, the first step before the residence visa itself is issued after arrival and medical clearance.
Getting the sponsor category and supporting documents right before the permit is issued avoids a rejected entry or a stalled status change once the applicant lands.
- Sponsor and category eligibility check
- Entry permit application submission
- Permit issuance and validity tracking
- Coordination with the onward residence visa process
Benefits

Who this is for. Anyone applying to enter the UAE from abroad for employment, family sponsorship or investor status who needs the pre-arrival entry permit issued first.

What you’ll need, and how we run it
Documents & eligibility
The file is built around the sponsor’s documents, since the sponsor is what makes the permit eligible.

- Passport-size photograph against a white background
- Sponsor’s documents, trade license for employment, marriage certificate for family, or shareholding evidence for investor entry
- Signed labour contract, for employment entry permits
Additional documents may be required depending on the sponsorship category. We confirm the exact list for your case before any fee is paid.
