Business Bay, Dubai
Serving Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah & Ras Al Khaimah
Employee visas, work permits, licence renewals and company amendments — coordinated with MOHRE, GDRFA, ICP and the relevant economic department for each transaction.
Already have a UAE company?

Government admin is a job. It does not have to be your job.

Most SMEs do not need a full-time PRO on the payroll. They need someone who already knows the counter, the portal and the document the officer will ask for — and who picks up when a visa is about to expire.

Get Corporate PRO Quote

A new employee starts Monday

Offer letter, quota, work permit, entry permit, medical, Emirates ID and stamping — in the right order, without your HR team learning each portal.

Something expires next month

Trade licence, establishment card, employee visas and Emirates IDs all renew on different clocks. We track the dates and tell you before they bite. See the compliance calendar.

Someone is leaving

MOHRE work permit cancellation and GDRFA residence cancellation in sequence, so the grace period starts cleanly and no fine follows the company.

The company itself is changing

Licence amendments, activity changes, shareholder changes and immigration file updates — and the follow-on transactions each one triggers.

Corporate PRO Scope

What an Outsourced PRO Department Covers

Two lifecycles run in every UAE company at once: your employees and the company itself. We handle both.

Engagement Models

Monthly, Per Transaction, or Per Project

Recurring work belongs on a retainer. One-off work does not. You are not pushed into either. Weighing it against a hire? See in-house PRO or outsourced.

Monthly retainer

From AED 700 per month + 5% VAT

All routine PRO work for up to 10 employees: new visas, renewals, cancellations, licence renewal, amendments and day-to-day government transactions. AED 1,400 for 11 to 20 employees; above that, quoted against your headcount.

Pay per transaction

Visa service AED 350 + 5% VAT

One employment visa handled end to end — a new application, a renewal or a cancellation. No monthly commitment. Other transactions are priced individually and quoted before we start.

Project and bulk

Scoped and quoted

A hiring drive, a group of cancellations, or the government side of a corporate change. Fixed scope, agreed timeline, one coordinator through the whole run.

Custom corporate scope

By arrangement

For larger headcounts, several licences, or a group of entities that need their transactions coordinated together rather than one file at a time.

Fee Transparency

Government fees and our fee are two different numbers

The authority charges what it charges. Our service fee is separate and stated up front, so you can budget the real cost of a hire before you make it — not after the invoice arrives.

An employment visa for someone already in the UAE runs roughly AED 5,100 to 7,400 in government fees depending on the company category, and about AED 3,600 to 5,900 for someone applying from outside. Those are the authority's amounts, published on our PRO page and quoted per case, never bundled silently into a single figure.

Renewal & Expiry

Four Clocks Run in Every UAE Company

None of them warn you, and none of them knows about the others. Missing one is rarely about the fine — it is about what stops.

Trade licence

Expires and penalties accrue monthly. While it is lapsed, visa transactions stop — renewals and new hires with them.

Establishment card

Renews yearly, and cannot be renewed on a lapsed licence. Expired, it stops immigration transactions for every employee at once.

Each employee

Visa and Emirates ID on their own dates. MOHRE allows renewal from 60 days before expiry; a passport under six months blocks it.

Payroll and tax

WPS is due on the first of the month. By the fifth day late, MOHRE suspends new work permits.

See the full compliance calendar · a company with 12 employees is already tracking around 28 dates

Setting Up, or Registering a Product?

Two specialist lines sit alongside corporate PRO. Most setup clients end up on the PRO side once the licence is issued, because that is when the government work actually starts.

Business setup, then the year after it

Mainland and free zone formation, trade licence, activity selection and approvals. What most providers stop short of is the sequence that follows: establishment card, MOHRE and immigration file, employee quota, then the first employee visas.

Client Success Stories

Each review below describes one client’s individual result. Processing times, eligibility and approvals are determined by the relevant UAE authority and vary by case, profession and document readiness. PROXPAT does not guarantee any outcome or timeline.

Michael T.
Tech Startup Founder

"They set up my IFZA Free Zone company in under a week. Fast, transparent pricing, and excellent PRO support for my team's visas."

Mohammed Ibhrahim
Mainland License

"PROXPAT completed my Mainland company license in just 10 days and also processed four employment visas for my employees without any delays. The entire process was handled professionally, and everything was completed smoothly. Because of their excellent service, I decided to sign an annual contract with PROXPAT to manage all of my company's PRO requirements. Their team takes care of everything, including license renewals, amendments, employment visas, immigration services, and other government-related procedures. One of the best things about PROXPAT is their affordable monthly PRO service, which offers exceptional value for businesses."

Client Questions

Questions Clients Ask Before Starting with PROXPAT

Practical answers for business setup, PRO and visa services, and product registration in the UAE.

A corporate PRO service handles a company's government transactions from outside the payroll: employee visas and MOHRE work permits, licence renewals and amendments, establishment cards, Emirates ID and the documentation behind them. An in-house PRO is a salaried employee with the same scope. Most SMEs have enough government work to need the function, but not enough to justify the salary, which is why the work is outsourced.

PROXPAT publishes its retainer: AED 700 per month plus 5% VAT for up to 10 employees, AED 1,400 for 11 to 20, and a quoted fee above that. The retainer covers routine PRO work — new visas, renewals, cancellations, licence renewal, amendments and day-to-day government transactions. Government fees are charged separately by the authority and are never bundled into that figure.

Yes. Individual services are charged per transaction, with an employment visa handled end to end at AED 350 plus 5% VAT, whether that is a new application, a renewal or a cancellation. There is no requirement to take a retainer, and the fee is quoted before the work starts.

The employee side: employment visas, MOHRE work permits and labour cards, medical fitness and biometrics, Emirates ID, visa renewals and cancellations, and Wage Protection System registration. The company side: trade licence renewals and amendments, establishment card, immigration file, government documentation, attestation, legal translation, customs code and Ejari.

Yes. Labour transactions in Abu Dhabi run through TAMM and residence through ICP; Sharjah licensing runs through SEDD and Tasheel centres; Ajman publishes flat licence fees through its economic department. We coordinate with whichever authority holds your file.

Send your trade licence, your establishment card and a list of employees with their visa expiry dates. That is enough to tell you what needs to start this month, what the government fees will be, and whether a retainer or per-transaction pricing fits your volume.

The right option depends on your business activity, target market, visa requirement, office need, ownership structure, and whether you want to trade directly in the UAE local market or operate internationally. PROXPAT reviews your requirement first and then guides you toward the most suitable mainland or free zone setup.

Yes, many mainland and free zone business activities allow 100% foreign ownership, depending on the activity and authority rules. PROXPAT helps you check whether your selected business activity qualifies and what structure is most suitable before starting the application.

Common documents may include passport copies, visa or entry status, Emirates ID if available, passport-size photo, proposed trade name, business activity details, shareholder details, and authority-specific forms. Requirements can change based on mainland, free zone, activity, and number of shareholders.

The timeline depends on the jurisdiction, business activity, document readiness, external approvals, office requirement, and visa requirement. Some setups can move faster when documents are complete, while regulated activities may take longer due to authority approvals. PROXPAT helps reduce delays by checking documents before submission.

In many cases, related business activities can be added under one license, but this depends on the authority and activity group. Some activities may require separate approvals or a different license structure. PROXPAT helps you choose activities correctly so your license matches your actual business plan.

Yes. PROXPAT assists with trade license renewal, activity amendment, company name changes, license updates, document preparation, and authority coordination. This helps businesses avoid unnecessary delays, penalties, or compliance issues.

A corporate bank account is usually needed to receive payments, pay suppliers, manage business transactions, and operate professionally in the UAE. Bank requirements depend on your business activity, shareholder profile, documents, and business model. PROXPAT can guide you on the documents commonly requested for bank account support.

PRO services support businesses and individuals with UAE government-related documentation, visa processing, immigration coordination, Emirates ID, medical and biometrics support, license renewals, attestation, translation, and related authority procedures. It saves time and helps avoid document mistakes.

Yes. PROXPAT supports employment visa processes, medical fitness coordination, Emirates ID steps, biometrics guidance, immigration file support, and related documentation. The exact process depends on company license, visa quota, employee documents, and authority requirements.

Yes. Alongside employment visas for your staff, PROXPAT handles investor and partner visas for company owners, Golden Visa applications, and the related document coordination. Eligibility and approval depend on the applicant category and the relevant UAE authority.

Common documents may include passport copy, photo, current visa or entry status, Emirates ID if available, trade license if company-related, sponsor documents, employment details, and authority-specific forms. PROXPAT reviews the case first so missing documents can be identified early.

Yes. PROXPAT can review the situation, check pending documents, identify possible authority requirements, and coordinate the next steps for renewal or correction. If penalties or additional approvals apply, they remain subject to the relevant UAE authority.

PROXPAT handles business, visa, licensing, and personal documents only for the required process and avoids unnecessary exposure of sensitive information. Clients should share clear documents through official communication channels and avoid sending passwords or unrelated private information.

Yes. PROXPAT can coordinate documentation and process support for different mainland, free zone, immigration, licensing, and government-related requirements. Since each authority has its own rules, the correct process is confirmed after reviewing the company license and requirement.

Products such as cosmetics, skincare, perfumes, health supplements, food items, detergents, disinfectants, medical-related products, and other regulated categories may require registration or approval before import, distribution, or sale in the UAE. The exact route depends on the product type and authority.

Yes. PROXPAT supports product registration and regulatory coordination with relevant UAE authorities, including MOHAP, Dubai Municipality, and EDE, depending on the product category, label, ingredients, claim, documents, and import or distribution requirement.

Common documents may include product images, label artwork, ingredient list or formulation, certificate of free sale, manufacturing certificate, safety data sheet if applicable, test reports, company documents, barcode details, and authority-specific forms. Requirements vary by category.

Label mistakes are one of the common reasons for delay. Product name, ingredients, claims, warnings, country of origin, manufacturer details, language requirements, and prohibited claims must be checked before submission. PROXPAT helps review labels before the application is filed.

The timeline depends on the product category, authority review, document readiness, label compliance, testing requirement, and whether clarification is requested. Products with complete documents and compliant labels usually move faster than products needing correction or lab testing.

Yes. PROXPAT can review the authority comments, identify the issue, check label or document gaps, and guide you on corrections or resubmission. Final acceptance remains subject to the relevant authority review.

For regulated products, registration or approval may be required before import, distribution, or sale. Selling without proper approval can create compliance risks. PROXPAT helps you understand the correct route before launching the product in the UAE market.
