MOHRE Services in
United Arab Emirates

Strategic workforce management, from establishment file opening and visa issuance to Emiratisation compliance.

Open Labor File

Human capital is the engine of your UAE expansion. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) governs all employment activities, including visa & immigration, contract regulations, and nationalization targets. We ensure your entity meets all labor requirements to build a compliant and productive team.

Role of MOHRE

MOHRE oversees the Emirates's labor laws, ensuring the rights of employees and employers are protected. It manages the digital ecosystem (MOHRE, Tasheel, ICP) that facilitates almost all government-related HR transactions.

Emiratisation System: The ministry's color-coded rating system that determines a company's ability to hire foreign staff based on its Emiratisation (localization) ratio.

Platinum / Green

Full privileges: Visa issuance, ease of renewal, and ability to transfer staff.

Low Green

Warning zone: Restricted visa issuance; urgent need to hire UAE nationals.

Red

Non-compliant: Cannot renew visas or hire new staff. Risk of closure.
