Conditions, time and validity

  • The mission permit can be renewed only once, for a period equal to the first (three months).
  • Apply before the current permit expires.
  • The establishment's licence must be valid, with no violation that suspends its file.
  • The application is submitted by the establishment's authorised signatory.
  • Renew within 7 days of the expiry date: a mission work permit not renewed within 7 days of its expiry is fined AED 100 per day, up to AED 2,000 (Cabinet Resolution No. 21 of 2020, Article 3, Arabic text, which prevails; part of a day counts as a full day).
Processing time
MOHRE: 2 working days once the application is complete.
Validity of the result
Three more months (total maximum six months).
Where it is applied for
MOHRE business service centres (Tasheel / Tawseel), the MOHRE website and the MOHRE app (UAE PASS of the authorised signatory). In Dubai the permit is often processed with the residence visa through the Work Bundle.

Steps at the authority

  1. Check the expiry date and that no renewal has been used yet.
  2. Submit the renewal request and pay the fees.
  3. MOHRE approves; extend the worker's entry permit / stay with immigration if needed.

Tips that save you a trip

  • Plan the project: if the work will last more than six months, apply for a regular two-year permit instead.

Common reasons for rejection or delay

  • The permit was already renewed once.
  • Request made after expiry, or establishment blocked.

Questions and answers

Can a mission permit worker stay longer than six months?

No. The permit is three months and can be renewed once for three months; for longer work the employer needs a regular two-year permit.
