MOHRE Labour Services PROs in Dubai

Employment on a mainland licence in Dubai is governed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), and transactions are typically lodged through Amer centres. If your company sits in a free zone such as JAFZA, DMCC, DAFZA, Dubai Silicon Oasis and DIFC, MOHRE is usually not your authority at all — the free zone runs its own labour regime. Getting this distinction wrong is the most common and most expensive mistake employers make.

What a PRO does

Work permits, offer letters and contracts in MOHRE's format, labour card issue and renewal, cancellations, and the establishment file that governs your quota.

What employers get wrong

• Signed contract terms that differ from the MOHRE-registered contract — the registered one governs.
• Letting work permits lapse against the trade licence held with Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET).
• Treating free-zone employment as if MOHRE rules applied, or the reverse.
• Cancellation done out of order, leaving an employee out of status.

Choosing one

Ask whether they handle your jurisdiction specifically — mainland MOHRE and free-zone labour are different skills. Every PRO listed for Dubai is verified before listing.

Before you act on any of this: UAE government fees, document lists and processing times change regularly. Confirm the current requirements with MOHRE, or ask the PRO you engage to confirm them in writing before you pay anything.
