UAE Labour and Immigration: Practical Considerations for Employers and Residents

CSP Group recently hosted a practical webinar covering common UAE labour and immigration questions affecting residents, employers and HR teams during periods of travel disruption.

 

The session addresses key considerations including the 180-day UAE residence visa rule, re-entry permits, expired residence visas, overstay fines, WPS compliance, visa cancellations, renewals, and short-term work options such as Mission Visas.

For employers, the discussion also highlights the importance of checking employee visa validity, passport validity and date of last UAE exit before travel is booked or return plans are confirmed. It also covers how businesses should approach cancellation, renewal and payroll obligations where employees are outside the country or working through a period of uncertainty.

The webinar is particularly relevant for business owners, HR teams, mobility teams and professional advisors supporting employees in the UAE.

For case-specific guidance, businesses should seek advice based on the employee’s visa status, sponsoring jurisdiction and current immigration file position.
