If you’re planning to start a business or sponsor employees in the UAE, one essential document you’ll need is the Establishment Card, also known as the Company Immigration Card. This card is not just a requirement—it’s the gateway to legally processing visas for your staff and accessing government services. At Firdous Typing Services L.L.C, we simplify this process for businesses across the UAE.
What is an Establishment Card?
The Establishment Card is an official document issued by the UAE’s immigration authority. It contains the business’s immigration file number and serves as a record in the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA). It allows the company to:
- Apply for and cancel visas
- Sponsor employees and dependents
- Register with eChannels or immigration portals
Without it, no company in the UAE can begin visa-related transactions.
Why is the Establishment Card Important?
- Legal Visa Sponsorship: Enables your business to sponsor employees and family members legally.
- Government Transactions: Required for interacting with the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MOHRE), GDRFA, and other government platforms.
- Compliance: Keeps your company compliant with UAE’s immigration and labor laws.
Documents Required for Establishment Card Application
To apply for a new Establishment Card, you’ll need:
- Valid Trade License copy
- Tenancy Contract & EJARI (Dubai) or Tawtheeq (Abu Dhabi)
- Memorandum of Association (MOA)
- Passport copy of the owner/partners
- Emirates ID of the owner/partners
- Copy of previous establishment card (for renewals)
