After working in Dubai for a few years, can I move to other countries like Ireland, Germany, or Japan?
Yes, after working in Dubai for a few years, you can explore moving to countries like Ireland, Germany, or Japan. Your professional experience in Dubai can strengthen your eligibility for skilled work visas or immigration programs in these countries.
- Ireland: You’ll need a job offer and an approved employment permit. Options include the Critical Skills Employment Permit (for in-demand roles) and the General Employment Permit (for broader roles). Dubai work experience can help if your skills match Ireland’s shortages.
- Germany: Pathways include the EU Blue Card (for high-salary, skilled jobs) and the new Opportunity Card (points-based, for skilled workers without a job offer). Your Dubai experience can boost your points or application.
- Japan: Skilled professionals can apply for work visas such as the Engineer/Specialist or Highly Skilled Professional Visa (points-based). A job offer is required, and your international experience is valued.
Visa rules and requirements are subject to change.
