The UAE has slashed the processing time to acquire work permits and residency visas from 30 days to five days to just five days under the second phase of the Work Bundle platform.
The new initiative will ease the hiring of new employees for business owners and private companies, and the pre-renewal of work permits for existing employees.
As per the Khaleej Times, the second phase of the Work Bundle will cover about 600,000 companies and more than seven million workers.
MoHRE said the third phase will cover the domestic workers.
Companies and employees can for now only access Work Bundle on its website (workinuae.ae) but a mobile app will soon be made available.
