Employment Visa are the part of UAE business life that founders least want to do themselves, and the part GoldenKey does every day. GoldenKey processes the Employment Visa for its company-formation clients and for individuals and employers across the UAE. Sharjah businesses in districts such as Al Nahda, Industrial Area, Al Majaz, Al Khan and Muwaileh use GoldenKey for Employment Visa because we combine local presence with federal expertise. In Sharjah, Employment Visa is handled by GoldenKey's team through the local authority offices, and our consultants visit them in person when a file needs it.
Why Employment Visa
As a rule, requires a labour contract, MOHRE or free zone approval and, for skilled roles, an attested degree. GoldenKey's PRO team visits the immigration, labour and municipality offices daily, so documents for Employment Visa move without waiting for a weekly run.
