Virtual Work Visa For Foreigners, How does it work?

Foreigners can enter the UAE on a one-year visa if they sponsor themselves. The UAE cabinet authorized the ‘Remote Work Visas’ plan on March 21, this year, with the goal of attracting skills and experience from all over the world. The scheme allows employees from all over the world to work remotely from the UAE. The one-year visa permits foreigners to enter the UAE on their own initiative and work in accordance with the visa’s terms and limitations. People who reside and work outside the UAE, as well as start-ups and entrepreneurs who match the eligibility criteria, are eligible for the virtual working program.

On its social media channels, the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) recently announced how to apply for the visa. Only interested persons seeking for visas from Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah will be considered for the application process outlined below.
