Visas for Moving to Dubai from UK after Brexit
If you are moving to Dubai after Brexit then you will need to obtain a visa. All British passport holders get a visit visa on arrival which is valid for 30 days, only for tourist purposes. You can extend this for a longer period, but that usually involves leaving and re-entering the UAE which makes it impractical to do.
Visas for staying in Dubai
If you are Moving to Dubai from UK, then you will need a more permanent visa. This can be in one of four forms.
Employment Visa: A visa that is arranged by your employer allowing you entry to the country, after which a work permit is issued.
Dependant Visa: A visa for those whose spouses or parents are already residents of Dubai
Student Visa: A visa for those enrolling into one of the universities in Dubai
Investor Visa: A visa for expats investing in companies in the UAE
The employment visa for UAE
The most common amongst these is the employment visa, the main requirement for this is to have a job offer from a company registered in Dubai. Once you accept the offer, the visa processing and associated costs are generally taken care of by the organization employing you.
Extending a visa in the UAE
If you have entered Dubai on a visit visa and you wish to work then you should get a probationary work permit, valid for up to 3 months, from the Ministry of Labour. If you don’t get this permit and are caught working while on a visit visa, then you risk being jailed or fined and deported. The UAE can be very harsh on this so make sure you don’t break any rules with visas
For further information, including on how to stay in the UAE for longer than 60 days, visit the websites of the UAE Consulate in London, the Naturalisation and Residency Department – Dubai or even the UAE Federal E-Government Portal.
Health checks for living in Dubai
If you apply for a residence visa, you will have to take a blood test. If you test positive for HIV or hepatitis you will be detained and then deported. There is no appeal process.
Deposit of passport is illegal
UAE employers may ask foreign employees to deposit their passports with the company as part of the terms and conditions of employment. While this is not an unusual practice, it is illegal under UAE labour law so do not allow it to happen.
Moving to Dubai on a work visa

Further paperwork to consider
One of the things you need to take care of, is the attestation of your certificates according to the Ministry of Labour guidelines. This can take a considerable amount of time, so make sure it’s ready before you apply for a work permit in Dubai to avoid delays.

Once in Dubai, you will need to get these attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).. Make sure all your other paperwork is in order.Remember to take enough passport sized photographs, because your first few days after moving to Dubai will involve a lot of form-filling and these will come in handy.
