Application for a UAE Residence Visa 
Due to the procedures of the UAE government departments, (Ministry of Education, Ministry of Labour & Social Affairs Dubai Dept. of Immigration, Dubai Police, Dept of Health & Medical Services, Knowledge & Human Development Authority, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Emirates ID Center etc), the process of obtaining a UAE Residence Visa and/or Work Permit can take anywhere from 1 to 3 months. The process can be quicker if the employee provides the Nursery all documentation as per contract before joining.
