Documents required

  • Employment contract approved by MOHRE, signed by employer and employee

    copy

  • Academic certificate matching the skill level of the (new) job: levels 1-2 bachelor or higher, 3-4 diploma or higher, 5 high school, none for 6-9

    in some casescopyattestedOnly if: When the job title changes to skill level 1-5

  • Professional licence from the competent authority (e.g. health authority for doctors and nurses, education authority for teachers)

    in some casescopyOnly if: Only for licensed professions

Conditions, time and validity

  • The establishment's licence must be valid with no violations that suspend its operations.
  • If the job title changes, the new job must fit the establishment's licensed activity.
  • Licensed professions must meet the rules of the competent authority.
  • The application is submitted by the establishment's authorised signatory.
Processing time
MOHRE: 2 working days after a complete application.
Validity of the result
The amended contract replaces the old terms; the work permit keeps its original expiry date (staff confirm).
Where it is applied for
MOHRE business service centres (Tasheel), MOHRE website and smart app; the establishment's authorised signatory logs in with UAE PASS. Our centre submits it at Tasheel for you.

Steps at the authority

  1. Enter the changes (contract information or job) and attach the documents.
  2. Pay the fees.
  3. Employer and worker sign the amended MOHRE contract.
  4. MOHRE issues the modified work permit and contract and notifies any extra requirement.

Tips that save you a trip

  • Check the worker's name, passport number, job title and salary on the draft before signing: a second amendment means a second fee.
  • A salary reduction needs the worker's written consent; MOHRE will not accept a contract the worker has not signed.

Common reasons for rejection or delay

  • New job title does not match the licence activity or the certificate does not match the skill level.
  • Establishment blocked for violations or unpaid fines.
  • Contract not signed by the worker.

Questions and answers

Can I change my own contract?

No. The employer's authorised signatory applies; you sign the new contract.

Does a contract amendment change my residence visa?

MOHRE shares the change with ICP/GDRFA. A job-title change may also need the visa or Emirates ID data updated; staff confirm.

Checked by the MARIO E.G.S.H team on 2026-10-08. Rules can change at any time; our consultant confirms the details for your case.
