Six things jobseekers must know before moving to Dubai for work

The article lists six things every jobseeker must know before moving to Dubai. Working on a visit or tourist visa is illegal, with strict rules and heavy penalties—whether the work is paid or unpaid, trial shift- or commission-based. Article 5 of Federal Decree-Law No. 29 of 2021 states individuals must not engage in any activity or work except in accordance with legislation. Article 6 of Cabinet Resolution No. (65) of 2022 further addresses this. Documents must also be attested before landing. For those moving to the UAE, understanding these conditions is essential before arrival.
