Tasheel or business-centre commission (MOHRE caps it at AED 72 per service), tax and collection charges, ILOE and other insurance, GDRFA entry permit and residence fees, and our own service fee are quoted separately. Fees are set by each authority and can change without notice; we confirm the current figure on your quote.

Tasheel centres lodge labour transactions with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation. If a hire is stuck and immigration says the file is clean, the problem is almost always sitting at this end — quota, classification, or a mismatch between the offer letter and the contract.
| Transaction | Notes |
|---|---|
| Work permits | New, renewal, cancellation |
| MOHRE offer letter | Signed before the contract is issued |
| Labour contracts | Typing, signing and registration |
| Quota applications | Approval and increases |
| Labour file opening | New establishments |
| Labour complaints | Unpaid salary, contract disputes |
| Degree equivalency | For regulated professions |
| WPS registration | Salary payment compliance |
Tasheel = the right to work. MOHRE. Permits, contracts, quota, complaints.
Amer = the right to live here. GDRFA. Entry permits, visas, Emirates ID, cancellation.
A single employment visa passes through both, in order: Tasheel first for the work permit, then Amer for the residence chain. Detail in Amer versus Tasheel.
| Component | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Typing, per transaction | AED 100 – 200 | Tasheel service charge |
| Work permit | AED 300 – 5,000 | By company category |
| Contract typing | AED 100 – 200 | |
| Contract cancellation | AED 100 – 200 | |
| Quota application | Varies | By activity and premises |
Your MOHRE classification is the single biggest variable in hiring cost — the same permit ranges from AED 300 to AED 3,500 (including the AED 50 application fee) depending on it. Category 3 usually follows WPS breaches, unresolved complaints or Emiratisation shortfalls, and it applies to every subsequent hire until corrected.
We prepare labour transactions and lodge them through Tasheel for you. Before submitting we confirm quota, check the company classification, and make sure the offer, contract and permit agree — the three documents that most often disagree. Government fees at cost, our fee stated separately, before we start.
Send your trade licence. We will tell you your category, whether quota is available, what each permit will cost, and what is blocking anything already submitted.
An authorised service centre that types and submits labour transactions to MOHRE. Tasheel does not decide applications — MOHRE does. The centre's job is to lodge the file correctly and completely.
No. Tasheel covers the MOHRE work permit and contract. The residence visa, Emirates ID and cancellation are GDRFA transactions handled through Amer.
The employee signs the offer letter and the labour contract, which can be done electronically. They must attend in person for the medical fitness test and Emirates ID biometrics, both of which sit on the Amer side.
It can be checked against the establishment file. If your permit costs have risen without explanation, this is the first thing to look at — correcting a downgrade pays for itself across every future hire.
Yes. Unpaid salary and contract disputes are lodged through MOHRE and Tasheel is one route in. What to expect is set out in what to do when salary is not paid.
Roughly AED 100 to 200 per transaction in typing fees, separate from the MOHRE government fee. The government portion is fixed; the service charge varies by provider.
Please note. Typing fees, permit costs and category criteria were verified in August 2026 and are revised periodically by MOHRE. Confirm the current position for your establishment. General information, not legal advice.
