Temporary visa for skilled professionals to enter UAE and search for employment without a sponsor.
The UAE Jobseeker Visit Visa is a temporary, single-entry permit designed to allow skilled professionals from around the world to enter the UAE for the purpose of exploring employment opportunities. This visa eliminates the requirement for a prior job offer or a local sponsor, providing a streamlined pathway for qualified individuals to attend interviews, network, and engage with the UAE's dynamic job market. It is an ideal option for those who wish to experience the professional environment of the Emirates firsthand while actively seeking a position that aligns with their skills and career goals.
To be eligible for this visa, applicants must be classified as skilled professionals—typically falling into the first, second, or third skill levels as defined by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation—or be a graduate from one of the world's top 500 universities, provided they graduated within the last two years. Applicants must hold at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent. The visa is available for durations of 60, 90, or 120 days, with fees ranging from AED 200 to AED 400, plus a required financial security deposit. It is important to note that this is a visit visa and does not permit the holder to work; once a job offer is secured, the individual must transition to a standard employment residence visa.
