Why choose a mission visa?
A fast, flexible and compliant solution for hiring employees for short-term projects in the UAE.
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.

What to Consider Before Applying for a UAE Mission Visa
Before applying for a UAE mission visa, make sure the company and worker meet the requirements and have the right documents. Check the visa duration, insurance and salary arrangements before the worker travels.
Project duration and permit validity
The MOHRE mission work permit is valid for three months and may be renewed once for a similar period. Plan the assignment and any renewal before the permit expires. www.mohre.gov.ae
Company eligibility
The employer must have a valid trade licence, an approved electronic quota and an authorised signatory to submit the application. The worker’s proposed occupation must also match the company’s licensed activities.
Worker documents
Prepare a passport copy valid for at least six months, a colour photograph with a white background and the official MOHRE job offer signed by both parties. Academic certificates or a professional licence may be required for certain occupations
Entry and insurance arrangements
Check the conditions on the issued entry permit, including its entry validity, permitted stay and health insurance requirements, before booking the worker’s travel. These details should be confirmed for the specific application.
Salary and payroll arrangements
Agree on the worker’s salary, payment schedule and employment terms before submission. Confirm the applicable payroll and Wage Protection System requirements for the employer and permit type; avoid assuming that every mission visa worker is exempt from WPS.
Project purpose
Make sure the job is for a specific short term assignment, as the mission visa is intended for temporary work.
