DMCC employment visa outside

It is the official UAE residence permit that allows an employee of a DMCC-licensed company to live and work in the UAE. It is issued by DMCC in coordination with the UAE's Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (FAIC), and is separate from an identity card or access approval.

Every employee of a DMCC-licensed company needs a residence visa, unless they are sponsored by their own husband, father, or mother, or are a GCC national — in either of those cases, an identity card is issued instead.

Arnifi has an experienced team that will guide and support you throughout the entire process. Once you provide the required credentials and documents, our team will handle the process on your behalf — from application submission through to visa stamping and Emirates ID. We take care of the documentation, coordination, and required steps to make the process as smooth and hassle-free as possible, while minimizing the chances of errors or delays.

No, the application is handled online and Arnifi manages the submission for you. The only place your employee may need to physically visit is an approved medical centre for the fitness test, and an Emirates ID service point for biometrics.
