Avoid Common Pitfalls

Common Reasons for Work Permit Rejection in Dubai

Most Dubai work permit rejections happen due to avoidable issues. With proper pre-assessment of job title, employer quota, and document accuracy before submission, most can be prevented entirely.

Classification

Job title doesn't match company activity

MOHRE flags any role that doesn't fit the trade-license activity — a top reason new permits get rejected.

01
Quota / Employer Compliance

Quota, WPS or license issue with the employer

Quota only applies to renewals and to new work permits issued for visa. Rejections happen when the visa-holding company or the new employer has WPS issues or an expired trade license.

02
Attestation

Documents not properly attested

Education or experience certificates without UAE / MOFA / consular attestation are returned without processing.

03
Permit mismatch

Wrong permit type selected

Picking the wrong category (e.g., Mission vs Standard) means full re-submission and lost government fees.

04
Visit visa issue

Previously worked on a visit visa

An old overstay or unauthorised work entry triggers compliance flags that delay or block the new permit.

05
Pre-submission review

We review your case before submission to identify potential rejection risks and improve approval chances from the start.

Avoid Overpaying — Check Your Work Permit Cost

Government fee ranges by permit type. Final cost is confirmed once we verify your employer's MOHRE compliance status — no surprises, no hidden charges.

We'll verify your employer's MOHRE standing & quota availability before you commit to fees.

Permit TypeGovernment Fee Range (AED)
New PermitAED 250 – 3,500
RenewalAED 250 – 3,450
TransferAED 250 – 3,450
Part-timeAED 250 – 1,500
Temporary / MissionAED 250 – 1,500
Tasheel service fee: AED 72 (capped)

Note: Work permits in Dubai are regulated by the MOHRE, with additional processing coordination through approved service centres such as Tasheel and digital verification via ICP.
