UAE updates jobseeker visa eligibility, requirements for foreigners

The United Arab Emirates Government has updated the eligibility criteria and required documents for foreigners seeking to enter the country on a jobseeker visit visa. This visa type allows eligible foreigners to enter the UAE to look for employment without first securing a job or a sponsor. The new eligibility requirements include professional qualifications or recent graduation from a top-ranked university, being in the first, second, or third skill level classified by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, or graduation from one of the world’s top 500 universities.

Applicants must also hold a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent and fulfil the prescribed financial guarantee. The visa is valid for 60, 90, or 120 days for a single trip.
