If you are thinking to relocate from Pakistan, then UAE could be an ideal choice. As the UAE visa employment requirements are not that complicated, neither is the process of getting a UAE work visa. However, there are three kinds, and you need to choose according to their requirements. These are the three types of work visas in UAE:

• Standard Visa
• Green Visa
• Golden Visa 

A standard visa is one that is granted by the employer and is valid only for 2 to 3 years, while a Green visa is exclusively for Freelancers and has a validation for up to 4 to 5 years. People on Green visa can sponsor their family members to relocate to UAE. Lastly, Golden visa is a special kind, that allows an expat to live in UAE for 10 years but the applicant should be skilled with superior qualifications such as medicine and engineering. 

For a standard visa, these are the work visa requirements in UAE:

• If both the employer and the employee adhere to the requirements of the MoHRE, anyone above the age of 18 may work lawfully as aex-patat in the UAE. A general summary of the MoHRE's requirements for employment in the UAE may be found below:
• The business is properly licensed.
• There are no offenses by the employer
• The employee's job is consistent with how the business operates.
• The worker at least has a high school diploma.
• Although there is no upper age limit for candidates, firms who hire people over 65 must pay an additional AED5,000 (US$1,360) cost every two years.
