Validity of the result
Not stated by MOHRE; the quota is used as permits are issued.
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. Book the Taqyeem evaluation through Tasheel (if needed); evaluators visit the premises.
  2. Submit the quota request with the documents and pay.
  3. MOHRE committee decides and issues the electronic quota.

Tips that save you a trip

  • Have the office or site open and staffed for the Taqyeem visit, with the licence and tenancy contract at hand.
  • Request professions that exist in your licence activity, otherwise the quota is refused.

Common reasons for rejection or delay

  • Work volume does not justify the number of workers requested.
  • Premises not found or not matching the licence at the Taqyeem visit.
  • Establishment file restricted for violations.

Questions and answers

How many workers can I get?

MOHRE does not publish a fixed number; it depends on the evaluated work volume and the committee's decision.
