IFZA employment visas for two employees
One IFZA company, two employees and two separate files. Each reached its own residence visa approval.
This IFZA employment visa case covers two residence applications under the same free zone company, each run as its own file. One file also went through an entry permit or change of status, document upload, a medical test and Emirates ID processing. We coordinated each applicant's documents and followed up both files, and IFZA issued a residence visa approval for each person.
The situation
The business held an IFZA licence and needed employment residency for two people. Both applications sat under one company. Each still moved as a separate file, with its own approvals to follow.
One of the files had more stages: an entry permit or change of status, document uploads, a medical test and Emirates ID processing.
What we handled
Two applicants meant two sets of papers, requested at different stages.

- Stages differ per person.One file also needed entry or change of status, a medical test and Emirates ID processing.
- Papers ready before each stage.Documents are requested per applicant and per stage, so each person's papers are best prepared early.
