Can you clarify if a visit visa can be converted into a work visa or if that is a fraud in UAE?

It is possible to convert a visit visa to a work visa in the UAE if you receive a job offer. This process is legal, but your employer must handle the conversion by applying for a work permit and residency visa through official channels.

Working on a visit visa is illegal and can lead to fines, deportation, or bans. Only begin work after your work visa and residency permit are approved.

If you need guidance on the process or specific requirements, your Leap counsellor can assist.
