The remote work visa lets you live in the UAE for a year while remaining employed by a company abroad. Applicants must demonstrate a monthly income of at least USD 5,000 with supporting bank statements.
The remote work visa is aimed at employees and freelancers whose income originates outside the UAE. The qualifying threshold is USD 5,000 per month, and it must be demonstrated through consistent bank statements rather than a single deposit or a letter alone.
Applications are processed through GDRFA and the evidence is scrutinised more closely than most applicants expect. An employment contract with at least a year remaining, three months of matching bank statements, and valid health insurance covering the UAE are the three pillars of an accepted file.
