Common questions

Can I sponsor a worker who is already in the UAE?

Yes, if their previous visa has been cancelled or they’re on a visit visa. We can usually change their status without them leaving.

Can I use a recruitment centre instead?

Yes. Licensed recruitment centres such as Tadbeer offer their own packages. Our service covers sponsoring the worker directly under your name.

What happens when the contract ends?

The visa has to be cancelled or transferred to a new sponsor. We handle both.
