How long does the UAE freelancer permit process take?

The freelancer permit itself is typically issued within 2–3 weeks. With the residence visa, Emirates ID, and medical test, the full process takes around 4–6 weeks from document submission.

Are government fees included?

Government fees (UAE immigration, Emirates ID, medical test) are separate from our service fee and payable to the relevant authorities. We provide a full cost breakdown before you start.

Can I work for multiple clients on a freelancer permit?

Yes. The freelancer permit allows you to work with multiple foreign clients simultaneously. You cannot, however, hire employees or bring in partners under a freelance permit.

What happens after purchase?

You'll complete an intake form and upload your documents via your dashboard. Our team will initiate the permit application, coordinate the residence visa steps, and update your status throughout.
