What it means
What is immigration compliance?
Immigration compliance is the ongoing work of keeping your company and its people lawfully authorised to reside and work in the UAE. Every business that sponsors staff has two sides to stay on top of: the company's own immigration standing, and the status of each employee it sponsors.
On the company side, that means holding a valid establishment (immigration) card, an approved labour quota for the visas you can issue, and a clean file with the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MOHRE), the Federal Authority for Identity & Citizenship (ICP) and — for free-zone companies — your zone's own immigration desk.
On the people side, each employee needs a work permit, an entry permit or in-country status change, a medical and Emirates ID, and a stamped residence visa — then timely renewal of all of it before expiry, plus proper cancellation when someone leaves.
Get it right and hiring, banking and audits run smoothly. Let something lapse and the cost is real: fines, overstay penalties, blocked quotas and labour bans that can stall your whole operation. We keep the calendar, the paperwork and the authorities in order so you don't have to.
What we handle
What immigration compliance covers
One team looks after every moving part of your company's immigration file — the corporate registrations and each individual visa, from first application through to renewal or cancellation.
Work permits & labour quotas
Securing and topping up your MOHRE labour quota, then applying for the work permits that authorise each new hire.
Residence visas & Emirates ID
Entry permits, status change, residence-visa stamping and Emirates ID for employees, investors and their dependants.
Medical & biometrics coordination
Booking and shepherding the mandatory medical fitness test and biometric capture so nothing stalls the visa timeline.
Renewals, amendments & cancellations
Tracking every expiry, processing renewals ahead of time, updating details after changes, and cancelling cleanly on exit.
Family & dependent sponsorship
Sponsoring spouses, children and domestic staff — salary thresholds, attestation and the paperwork that comes with each.
What's involved
What you need to stay compliant
The exact list depends on your licence type, emirate and whether you're mainland or free zone — but these are the essentials we set up, hold on file and keep current on your behalf.
Valid trade licence & establishment card
An active licence and a current establishment/immigration card — the foundation for sponsoring anyone.
Approved labour quota
A MOHRE (or free-zone) quota that sets how many visas you can issue, sized to your activity and office.
Registered tenancy (Ejari) & office proof
An attested tenancy contract and premises that support your quota and residence-visa applications.
Signed employment contracts (WPS)
MOHRE-registered offer letters and contracts, aligned to the Wage Protection System for salary payments.
Passports, photos & KYC
Passport copies, photos and personal details for each employee or dependant being sponsored.
Attested educational documents
Degree or qualification attestation where the role or profession requires it for the work permit.
Medical fitness & Emirates ID
A passed medical test and completed Emirates ID application for every residence visa issued.
An expiry calendar you can trust
A tracked schedule of every card, permit and visa expiry, with renewals actioned well before the deadline.
The signals
When you need immigration support
Immigration work tends to arrive as a deadline or a problem. If any of these sound familiar, it's time to hand the file to a team that does this every day.
You're hiring
New employees need work permits and residence visas issued quickly and correctly — without pulling your team off their jobs.
Renewals are falling due
Cards, permits or visas are approaching expiry and you need them renewed on time — before fines and overstay penalties start.
You've run out of quota
Your visa allocation is used up and you need to expand it — or restructure your office and licence to unlock more.
An inspection or audit is coming
A MOHRE or immigration inspection means your files, contracts and WPS records need to stand up to scrutiny.
You're restructuring
An ownership change, licence amendment or address move ripples through your establishment card and every sponsored visa.
Someone's leaving
Departing staff need their visas cancelled properly and on time — the step most often missed, and the one that blocks new quota.
