The United Arab Emirates (UAE) launched a new platform called the “Work Bundle” on Tuesday to simplify and expedite the process of obtaining work permits and residency visas. This platform aims to streamline the experience for both companies and individuals seeking employment opportunities in Dubai.
The Work Bundle platform will “facilitate, simplify and shorten the procedures for residency and work (permits) in the country,” Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the UAE of Dubai, said in a post on X.

For his part, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the Emirates, announced that the government recently launched the “Zero Bureaucracy” initiative to simplify procedures and enhance efficiency within the federal government.
The Ruler of Dubai and Vice President of the UAE, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, added that the work package is scheduled to restore 62 million working days that were previously allocated to renewing residency and work contracts within government frameworks.
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum explained that this project is expected to reduce one million procedures annually, which will achieve significant savings for both the government and private sectors. We would like to thank all federal and local authorities for their invaluable cooperation in realizing this project.
Through the action package, the UAE government aims to provide service to the business community by simplifying and accelerating procedures for private sector companies. The project provides a single platform for completing employment services, including renewal, cancellation, medical examination, and fingerprinting.
This initiative revealed by the government comes as a result of close cooperation between federal and local government agencies to enable customers to complete their transactions in the fewest possible steps through the digital platforms where the service is available.
It is worth noting that these platforms include the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, Customs and Port Security, the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, and Dubai Health. The project is supported by the Department of Economy and Tourism in Dubai.
