A UAE Residence Permit (also called a residence visa) is an official document that allows foreign nationals to live, work, study, or invest in the United Arab Emirates for an extended period of time.

It is stamped inside your passport and gives you the legal right to stay in the UAE beyond the usual tourist or visit visa period.

• Entry Permit/Visa (Tourist, Visit, or Work Visa depending on the route)
• Medical Fitness Test (in UAE)
• Emirates ID Application (Biometric submission)
• Health Insurance (mandatory for some emirates)
• Proof of Employment or Sponsorship (Job offer, company trade license if self-sponsored, etc.)
• Tenancy Contract (address proof, in some cases)
• Bank Statement (if applying through investment or freelance visa)
• Educational Certificates (attested, if applying for skilled jobs)

🛠️ Process:

1. Entry Visa/Permit — Enter UAE legally with a valid visa.
2. Medical Test — Blood test and chest X-ray at a government-approved clinic.

4. Visa Stamping — Submit your documents for residence visa stamping on your passport.
5. Emirates ID Issuance — Get your official Emirates ID card (valid for the duration of your residence visa).
