Transferring sponsorship

Dubai: In order to control the labour market in the country and to avoid confusion, the Ministries of Interior and Labour, have set up specific rules regarding transfer of sponsorship for expatriates.

A woman who wishes to transfer her sponsorship from a company to her husband, has to apply for a new entry visa.
