Steps Involved in Getting your UAE Residency Visa:
- Applying for the Employment Entry Permit.
- Applying for the Permit while the Applicant is in UAE

- Once the Entry Permit is approved and issued, The Applicant is required to do the Medical Test and apply for his Emirates ID

Advantages of acquiring the license
The above steps may seem like very simple and easy to do but new people attempting to do these with sub steps involved in the whole process, and little knowledge of the locations etc. can end up dragging the process to weeks or month without success as Business owners face many challenges when it comes to point where they have to deal with the government authorities.

Xcellence provides assistance for three types of visas: employment/Residency visas, visit visas and dependents residence visas.
You can begin by sending us your Passport copy and Passport size Picture and few personal details. But please contact us for the detailed explanation and requirements as we deal with many free zones and sometimes their requirements and processes differ from each other.
Issuance of the Entry Permit (which is the 1st Step) is generally done in three to five working days. However, this is subject to approvals by the immigration department. Then it can take about another week to get the Visa stamping done.
The number of visas that your company is eligible for depends on the size of the selected office. Eg. If you selected a Physical space you will be eligible for 1 visa for every 9 square meters.
No, this is not possible because when you enter UAE on an Entry Permit, you cannot leave UAE until you have completed the rest of the visa formalities (Medicals, Emirates ID and Visa Stamping).
