In a significant move to boost efficiency, the UAE’s Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has revealed a major reduction in the procedural requirements for work and residency services. With a newly streamlined process, MoHRE aims to cut down on paperwork, reducing processing times from days to just minutes, with some services seeing reductions of up to 100%.
This change is part of the UAE’s Zero Government Bureaucracy Programme, led by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai. The programme focuses on removing unnecessary steps in government procedures, minimizing wait times, and enhancing service delivery throughout the country.
What This Means for Residents and Businesses
For expatriate workers and businesses in the UAE, these updates translate to faster and simpler routes for obtaining work permits and residency visas. By reducing the need for excessive documentation and approval processes, MoHRE aims to improve the UAE’s business-friendly atmosphere and facilitate easier business operations. This initiative is anticipated to draw more international talent and investors to the UAE, solidifying the nation’s status as a global center for innovation and opportunity.
Through these reforms, MoHRE is committed to establishing a modern, efficient framework for the UAE’s workforce, ensuring smooth and hassle-free processes that benefit both residents and employers.
