Hi, I'm on visit visa in use, fortunately for me I...

In order to get a work permit, the employee must first be granted a residence visa, which is typically valid for a period of three years. There are different types of residence visas. The documents required for a residence visa include:

• An application form,
• passport-size photographs.
• Employee’s original passport with a copy
• Copy of a valid company card
• Valid commercial license of the company
• Application fee
• Valid health certificate
• Entry permit issued by the Ministry of Labor

Although a residence visa is not the same as a labor card, the employer usually applies for the visa on behalf of the employee.

Medical Requirements for Residence Visa

A valid health certificate is required for the issuance of a residence permit; this requires applicants to undergo a health check at any government hospital or medical clinic. The test must be conducted once the applicant is in the country; tests from outside the country are not accepted.
