THE time to process necessary documents to acquire work permits and residency visas has been reduced from 30 days to five days across the UAE following the launch of the second phase of the Work Bundle platform on June 11.
Several ministries and federal authorities have come together to launch a platform that will ease the hiring of new employees for business owners and private companies, and the pre-renewal of work permits for existing employees.
This process, which used to take 30 days, has now been reduced to just five days across the UAE, following the successful launch of the second phase of the Work Bundle platform. The first phase was first rolled out in Dubai in April and is now being implemented in all seven emirates. The second phase of Work Bundle will cover about 600,000 companies and more than seven million workers.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) revealed the third phase of the platform will cover the domestic workers. Companies and employees can for now only access Work Bundle on its website (workinuae.ae) but a mobile app will soon be made available.
