Professional PRO & Government Liaison Services in the UAE

It varies by visa type, jurisdiction, and the authority's own processing schedule — an employment visa moves through several stages (entry permit, status change, medical, Emirates ID, stamping), each with its own timeline. We give you a realistic estimate for your specific case at the outset and keep you updated at each stage, rather than quoting a headline number we don't control.

Yes. Urgent transactions can be prioritised, and retainer clients get priority handling as standard. Bear in mind that speed is ultimately bounded by the authority's own processing times — what we can remove is delay caused by incomplete or incorrectly formatted documentation, which is where most avoidable hold-ups come from.

We track them automatically and flag them well in advance — licence expiry, visa renewals, Emirates ID, and labour card validity are all monitored, with advance renewal windows so nothing lapses. Submission itself is confirmed with you rather than actioned silently, so you always know what's being filed on your behalf.

Typically the trade licence and establishment card, the employee's passport copy and photo, the signed employment contract, and supporting items such as educational certificates (attested where the role requires it) and medical clearance. Exact requirements differ by authority, free zone, and job category — we confirm the precise list for your case before anything is submitted.

Yes — that's usually the point. PRO sits alongside company formation, tax registration, accounting, and banking support, all through one relationship. It matters practically: your licence, establishment card, and corporate documents are the same records a bank or the FTA will ask for, so keeping them in one place avoids re-collecting everything each time.

Most businesses over-buy or under-buy here. If you have staff, visas and licence renewals cycling continuously, a retainer usually costs less than the penalties of a missed deadline. If you need the occasional visa or amendment, on-demand is the honest answer and we'll say so. An advisor assesses your actual obligations and recommends what's needed — nothing more.

Yes. We coordinate at both the federal and emirate level — DED and the economic departments, ICP and GDRFA for immigration, MOHRE for labour, plus municipality, RTA, MOFA and Notary Public. Free zone authorities have their own procedures, and we handle those too, so a business with both mainland and freezone entities doesn't need two providers.
