What Is a Quota Request in the UAE?

Obtain Work Permit Quotas in Compliance with MOHRE Rules

A quota request in the UAE is a Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) procedure that allocates the number of work permits a company may issue for foreign employees. This allocation is linked to the company's trade licence, business activity, and compliance with Emiratisation and labour regulations.

The requirement applies to all private establishments hiring non-UAE nationals and is approved by MOHRE within two working days if the eligibility criteria and records are in order.

EGSH, as a government-authorised centre, manages the complete quota request process — from verifying eligibility and preparing supporting data to submitting the application and securing approval — ensuring complete compliance with MOHRE rules.

How to check the visa quota for my company in the UAE?

You can check the visa quota for your company in the UAE through the MOHRE online portal or mobile app by logging in with your UAE Pass. The system displays your total allocated quota, the number of visas already used, and the remaining available quota. EGSH also performs this check on your behalf as part of the quota request process.

Who can apply for a quota request in Dubai?

The owner may submit a quota request or an authorised representative of a registered private establishment with a valid UAE trade licence. The company must meet all eligibility criteria for work permit approval from MOHRE, including alignment of requested professions with licensed activities and compliance with labour regulations, to obtain quota approval for hiring foreign employees.

What documents are needed for the UAE labour quota request?

The required documents for the labour quota request include a valid trade licence matching the company’s business activity, a Taq’eem report for electronic quota requests, workforce records showing current employees and work volume, supporting evidence such as a list of vehicles if relevant to the activity, and proof that the requested job titles align with the licensed activities. EGSH will verify the accuracy and compliance of all documents before submission to MOHRE to avoid delays or rejection.

How long does the company quota check take in Dubai?

A company quota check in Dubai is completed instantly through the MOHRE system after verifying the trade licence and establishment file. The system shows the company’s current visa quotas, including allocated, used, and remaining slots. If an additional quota is needed, EGSH will submit a request to MOHRE on your behalf, which is approved within two working days when all requirements and documents are in order.

What are the official fees for the visa quota approval in the UAE?

The official fees for visa quota approval in the UAE include a Ta’qeem report fee of AED 406 and a service commission of up to AED 72 if processed through a business centre. These amounts do not include VAT or collection charges. EGSH will provide a detailed cost breakdown before applying.

How are visa quotas linked to Emiratisation targets in the UAE?

MOHRE determines visa quotas in line with Emiratisation quota requirements, which set minimum numbers of UAE nationals to be employed in specific sectors and company sizes. The number of foreign workers a company can hire is adjusted based on its compliance with these targets, with non-compliance potentially limiting future quota allocations.

Is an inspection from MOHRE required for visa quota approval in Dubai?

MOHRE does not require a routine inspection for visa quota approval. Inspections may be carried out in specific cases to verify the company’s licensed activities, staffing levels, and compliance with Emiratisation quota requirements before approving or increasing the quota.
