Can I work in the UAE?

How it works: Employer-sponsored permit; the portal lists no local-first test. Physicians and lab technicians must pass local licence exams (emirate or federal health authority).

Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.

Watch for: The portal does not name nurses: ask the hospital which licence and exams your role needs, who books them and who pays.

Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
