Are you a freelancer seeking a visa for the UAE?
The announcement made by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) in the UAE will be very helpful to those looking for virtual work residency visas. There is no more requirement to be physically present there for UAE Visa. Applying online is simple for them. That’s great news for online workers.
The application procedure can now be finished from the freelancer’s current location for individuals. This visa (virtual work residency) is only valid for a year (365 days). But, after 1 year, it may be extended under new terms and conditions by the United Arab Emirates.
People can utilize the ICP’s website or the smart application (UAEICP) to apply for visas. The applicant must enter the UAE within 60 days of the visa’s approval in order to finish the resident visa application process. The permission will be canceled if you don’t enter the UAE within the allotted window of time.
Only those applicants who have a passport with a minimum remaining validity of six months, a recent photo, and a current health insurance policy are eligible for the virtual work residence visa.
Requirements during checking
To be eligible, the freelancer must present
- A bank statement demonstrating earnings of at least Dh360,000 over the past 2 years or equal currency
- Candidate must submit three months’ worth of bank statements and a previous month’s pay stub.
Reasons for Rejection
Following 30 days, the UAE Visa application will automatically rejected online if
- The applicant does not match the conditions.
- The request is denied by the ICP and the application is returned three times for the same reason
It is crucial to know that the fee and financial guarantees are recoverable.

Each participant in the virtual working program must pay AED 350. The entry permission and all the information will be sent to each applicant’s email. So regularly check your emails if you’re an applicant.
The new strategy has benefits for both employees and businesses because it gives people autonomy over the work they take on and spares them the risks associated with employee retention.
According to the minister, this would boost labour market productivity and elevate people’s status as valuable employees. By 2024, the introduction of the flexible work permit is predicted to result in up to 24,000 new job openings as companies hire and keep a more diversified staff.
By establishing a favourable legal environment, the UAE hopes to foster this trend and draw in a more diverse workforce and capital.
