What documents need to be translated for moving to Dubai?
Any official document not in English or Arabic must be translated by a UAE Ministry of Justice–approved legal translator. This includes birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, and driving licences. Cost is AED 100–300 per page. Translation is separate from attestation — you typically need both for most official processes.
How long does a UAE residence visa take to process?
Typically 2–4 weeks from arrival if your employer or sponsor has pre-approval in place. The process is: entry permit → medical fitness test → Emirates ID biometrics → visa stamping. Express options via typing centres reduce this to 5–10 working days for an additional AED 500–1,500 fee.
