Why we use mission visa?
Short-Term Work Assignments
Ideal for project-based work, probation periods, specialist consulting, equipment installation, events, audits, and temporary contracts of up to 90 days.
Legal Work Authorization
Unlike a visit visa, it grants legal work rights. Unlike an employment visa, it’s single-entry, tied to one sponsor, and involves no Emirates ID residency setup.
Faster Visa Processing
Mission Visas are typically processed within 4–5 working days, making them an excellent option for urgent business and workforce requirements.
Cost-Effective Solution
Avoid the cost and complexity of obtaining a full residence visa for employees needed only for short-term assignments.
Flexible Workforce Management
Businesses can quickly deploy skilled professionals for temporary projects without committing to long-term employment contracts.
UAE Labour Law Protection
Employees are protected under UAE labour laws, including employment rights, agreed wages, and safe working conditions during their assignment.
