UAE overhauls work-permit system, adds 13 categories and slashes paperwork
MoHRE has launched a digital work-permit regime with 13 categories and near-paperless processing, promising approvals in under five days. The move supports freelancers, students and project workers, aligns with the UAE’s Zero Bureaucracy drive and is in public-consultation until 30 July – giving employers a narrow window to influence the rules.
Canada downgrades UAE risk rating, restoring business-travel confidence
