How Does the UAE Freelance Visa Work?

What Does the Freelance Visa Allow?

The freelance visa allows independent professionals who aren't tied to a single employer to legally operate and issue invoices in the UAE.

Which Professions Are Eligible?

Many freelance professions — media, design, consultancy, software development and education among them — are covered under this visa category.

Can You Work Without Forming a Company?

A freelance licence lets you invoice clients and take on work individually, through a low-cost structure, without setting up a traditional company.
