Good morning

We would like to inform you that new work permit can be obtained if both parties (the worker and the employer) agree to terminate the employment contract during its validity, provided that the worker has spent at least six months with the employer. Completion of the said period shall not be required in the case of arbitrary dismissal.
New work permit for skilled workers
Employees in this category are exempted from the requirement that the employer has a six-month period before obtaining a work permit for another establishment.
The category of skilled workers includes the following skill levels:
1. First Skill Level: includes specialized occupations that require a high degree of scientific, technical and administrative skills, with a minimum university degree
2. The second skill level: It includes the technical professions that require the availability of mental skills, practical skills and supervisory qualification of a medium institute
3. The third skill level: It includes the professional labor which requires practical and vocational skills that cover the framework of the profession in an integrated secondary stage qualification.
Work permits can be obtained through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation and the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs of the Emirate concerned.
The procedures for obtaining work permits start after obtaining a work permit from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, which entitles the holder to enter the UAE for the purpose of work.
The employer then arranges for the worker to obtain a residence permit within 60 days, including a medical examination, a resident's identity card, a work card, and a residence visa stamp on his passport, which indicates that the worker resides in the UAE by sponsoring the facility where he works.
The residence visa is issued by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs of the Ministry of Interior in the concerned Emirate.
