Receive your own freelance visa

The UAE is seeking all expats, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and remote workers globally. Following a global change in the workforce, a surge in freelance employment, and a desire to be self-employed, the UAE government implemented the Freelance Visa Dubai. With the Dubai freelancing visa, you may be your own boss and create your own business.

Several free zones in Dubai and around the UAE provide freelancing permits for residents. A freelancing permit does not require a sponsor or being recruited by a firm in the UAE. The freelancing visa Dubai is a sort of UAE residency, which allows you to live and work in the UAE with your family for a period of one to five years.
