This visa is specifically designed for international remote workers employed by companies outside the UAE. Notably, applicants do not need a local sponsor and can sponsor dependents, including spouses and children.

To qualify for the Remote Work Visa, applicants must meet several criteria:

  • A proven ability to work remotely.
  • A monthly salary of at least USD 3,500 (approximately AED 12,856).

Required documents include a valid passport, a colored passport photo, health insurance from a UAE provider, proof of remote employment, and a salary certificate. An optional police clearance certificate may also be submitted.

Applications can be made online through the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP) for all emirates except Dubai, or through the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) for Dubai.

The total cost of the visa is AED 350, covering application, issuance, and service fees.

For those considering this opportunity, ensuring all documentation is accurate and up-to-date is crucial to avoid delays or cancellations. Once approved, visa holders have 60 days to enter the UAE.
