PRO services in Dubai are the government filings a company makes after it is licensed: visas, Emirates ID, work permits, licence renewals and amendments with GDRFA, ICP, MoHRE and DET. Each filing depends on the one before it, so we track every expiry and start renewals 45 to 60 days before the date.

Corporate PRO services by authority

Four authorities and a few registries hold your company's government file. Each sets its own requirements, and the gold column is what decides whether a filing clears first time.

What keeps government work on schedule

Most delays come from the order of filings, not their difficulty. These are the points where a company calendar usually slips.

A renewal notice gives enough warning.
Renewals go in 45 to 60 days before the date, because each one waits on the card or lease before it.
Each visa is a single application.
A residence visa runs through four or five stages with different authorities, and each one opens only when the last has cleared.
The documents from last year still work.
Formats and requirements change during the year, so every file is checked against what the authority accepts today.
A shareholder change is a licence matter.
It flows on to the establishment card, the labour file, signatories and sometimes the bank, in that order.
Free zone companies have nothing to file.
The zone handles part of the work, and the medical, biometrics and attestation still sit outside it.

Ask on WhatsApp

What does a PRO service do for a UAE company?

It handles the government work a company completes after it is licensed: the establishment card, work permits, residence visas, Emirates ID, licence renewals, amendments and attestation. The value is timing, because each filing depends on the one before it and every expiry date drives the next step.

How long does a UAE employment visa take?

Usually 12 to 20 working days for a straightforward application with complete documents, across the work permit, entry permit, medical test, Emirates ID biometrics and the residence visa. We check every document against current requirements before the first submission.

How much does an employment visa cost in Dubai?

An employment visa cost in Dubai depends on whether the company is on the mainland or in a free zone and on the visa length. Whether the employee is inside or outside the UAE also matters. On the mainland the company's MoHRE classification matters too, as do the medical test, Emirates ID and health insurance. You get a written quote before anything starts, and it only changes if your plans do.

How much do PRO services cost in Dubai?

PRO services cost depends on how many visas you run and how often renewals and amendments fall due. One piece of work costs less than having the whole yearly calendar handled for you, and attestation and urgent processing add to it. We agree the work with you and send a written quote before anything starts.

Do free zone companies need PRO services?

Often, for part of the work, because many free zones run visas and renewals through their own portal, while the medical test, Emirates ID biometrics and attestation sit outside it. We confirm what your zone covers and handle the rest on the same calendar.
