MOHRE is not just a formality. It is your official gateway to legal employment in the UAE. Registration with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) ensures transparent working conditions for both employer and employee — and gives you confidence that your rights are protected and your employment is fully compliant with the law.

Why MOHRE Registration Matters
Legal employment
MOHRE registration allows you to work in the UAE legally and avoid issues with immigration and labour authorities.
Protection of rights
The Ministry guarantees fair working conditions, support in disputes with employers, and compliance with minimum wage standards.
Simplified labour contracts
A Labour Contract registered with MOHRE automatically reflects all legal requirements: working hours, leave, termination terms.
Social guarantees
Employment through MOHRE gives you access to benefits, compensation, and protection in case of workplace injuries or unfair dismissal.
Career opportunities
Official registration increases chances for promotion, participation in government programmes, and higher earnings.
Dispute resolution
In case of conflict, MOHRE acts as a mediator and helps settle disputes quickly and fairly.
Step-by-Step Process of Getting a Work Permit and MOHRE Registration
Finding an employer (registered with MOHRE)
Through job portals, agencies, or recommendations. Important: the employer must be registered with MOHRE — otherwise, a work permit cannot be issued.
Job Offer
The employer sends an official offer specifying salary, duties, and work schedule. This is the first step towards MOHRE registration.
Work Permit application
The employer applies to MOHRE and receives a quota to issue your UAE work visa.
Medical examination & insurance
A medical test is required for the visa. The employer is also obliged to provide health insurance.
Applying for a work visa
Once the Work Permit is approved, the employer submits an application for your UAE work visa.
Labour Contract registration
You sign an employment contract that is registered with MOHRE, ensuring your rights are legally protected.
Emirates ID & Entry Permit
Your Emirates ID (resident card) must be issued within 90 days of entry to the UAE.
Starting employment
You begin working under the terms of your MOHRE-registered Labour Contract.

A Work Permit is the authorisation issued by MOHRE that allows you to work legally in the UAE. A Labour Contractis the employment agreement registered with MOHRE that defines your working conditions. Both documents are mandatory.
