Employment Visa Document Package
Employment Visa Document Package
Securing employment in the UAE requires presenting a specific set of attested documents to your employer and the immigration authorities. These typically include your highest educational qualification, professional experience letters, a police clearance certificate, and in some cases, professional licensing or equivalency documents. Each must pass through the full attestation chain independently, and a single missing stamp on any one document can delay your entire visa process.
The GreenAttest Employment Visa Document Package eliminates this complexity by treating all your employment documents as a single coordinated project. We map out exactly which documents your employer and the UAE immigration authorities will require, verify the current attestation status of each, and process them in parallel wherever possible to minimize total turnaround time.
This package is built from years of processing employment visa documentation for professionals across every major industry in the UAE — healthcare, engineering, education, finance, IT, and construction. We know the specific requirements each sector demands and the common pitfalls that delay visa approvals.
Documents Required
- Highest educational qualification certificate (degree, diploma, or professional certification)
- Professional experience letters from current and/or previous employers
- Police clearance certificate from country of residence (issued within 6 months)

Special Requirements

- Ask your UAE employer for a specific list of required documents before starting the attestation process, as requirements vary by free zone and mainland authorities.
- Keep digital scans of every document at each stage of attestation as backup and for your employer to begin preliminary visa processing.
