Employment visas are for staff your company sponsors. Capacity depends on company type, office product, deposits, and current labour rules — not on a single blog table.

Before hiring plans, confirm how many employment visas your chosen jurisdiction and office package can support. EmirHub treats quota as a separate data layer from visa type pages.

Who it is for

  • Employees joining a UAE company
  • Companies hiring residents under their establishment
