Work permit quota and Taqyeem evaluation

Before a mainland company can bring workers from abroad, it needs an electronic work-permit quota from MOHRE. MOHRE gives a proactive quota without an application or documents. For more workers, the company asks for an electronic quota: it needs a valid trade licence, an establishment file without restrictions, professions that match its licence activity, evidence of its work volume (contracts, projects), a list of vehicles where the activity uses them, and a valid Taqyeem report. Taqyeem is MOHRE's field-evaluation service run with private partners. The request is typed at a Tasheel centre and sent electronically to a Taqyeem provider; a team of two UAE national evaluators visits the premises (Saturday to Thursday, 8 am to 8 pm) and reports on the work volume, the premises and the licence. MOHRE lists the Taqyeem fee as AED 406 and a business-centre commission of at most AED 72, plus VAT and collection charges. After the evaluation and the committee's decision, the quota is issued in about 2 working days. Practical advice: keep the office or site open and staffed on the visit day, answer the evaluators' call, request only professions in your licence, and keep your WPS record clean: a company that pays wages late has new work permits suspended from the 5th day after the due date. Our staff can check your current quota and prepare the request.
