Can my wife work on the dependent visa in Dubai in UAE?

Yes, your wife can work in Dubai on a dependent visa, but she must first obtain a work permit.

To do this, she needs a job offer from a UAE employer. You, as her sponsor, must provide a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to the employer. The employer will then apply for the work permit through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), submitting required documents such as the NOC, her passport copy, residence visa, Emirates ID, and job offer letter.

The employer covers the permit costs. All steps must follow current UAE labor laws. If you need help with this process, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
