Free Zone Employment Visa Renewal Services in Different Free Zones
The renewal of Free Zone Employment Visa is a significant regulatory obligation for businesses functioning in Free Zones of UAE, including Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah Free Zone, and Abu Dhabi Free Zone. Every employment visa, issued on a Free Zone license, has a specific period of validity, which is two years, and needs to be renewed on time to avoid penalties for overstay.
In contrast to Mainland visas, the renewal process for Free Zone Employment Visas is determined by the Free Zone Authorities’ immigration systems, rather than by MOHRE. Each Free Zone has its own renewal process, timeline, and documentation requirements depending on the type of license, office, and visa numbers allocated to the company. This requires expert PRO services.
At 365 Day PRO Corporate Services, we offer full support for the renewal of a Free Zone Employment Visa in all major Free Zones in the UAE. We assist our clients in the renewal process of a single employee’s visa or a series of visas in Emirates.
