Dubai: While people on visit visa are not allowed to work with or without salary in the UAE, expats who wish to work for a short time or on probation can enter the country on mission visa which is for 90 days, according to a senior official. People who enter the country on visit, transit and tourism visas cannot work and cannot obtain a work permit here, Humaid Bin Deemas, Acting Director-General of the Ministry of Labour, told Gulf News. "We do not have labour permit under the category of probationary [employment] and people who enter the country for visit cannot work at all here," he said. People caught working on visit visas will be deported and banned from entering the UAE forever and employers will be fined Dh50,000 for each such worker, according to him.Tags:
