The legal route
How recruitment for United Arab Emirates actually works.
The UAE employer applies to MOHRE for a labour quota and work permit, attests the demand letter and power of attorney at the Indian Consulate, and sends the employment visa. We register the demand on e-Migrate and clear each worker before travel.
Nothing about that sequence is optional and nothing about it is quick. Any agent who promises you a United Arab Emirates job without an employer’s attested demand letter behind it is either guessing or lying — and it is worth asking them to show you the licence number before you pay anyone anything.
