The short version

Tasheel is the MOHRE channel — work permits, offer letters, labour contracts, quota and complaints.
Anything about residency — visas, Emirates ID, cancellation — goes through Amer instead.
Typing fees run AED 100 – 200 per transaction on top of the MOHRE fee.
Your company MOHRE category is visible here, and it decides what every permit costs.

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.

Tasheel or Amer?

One rule that settles it

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.

What it costs

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

Check your category while you are here

Your MOHRE classification is the single biggest variable in hiring cost — the same permit ranges from AED 300 to AED 5,000 depending on it. Category 3 usually follows WPS breaches, unresolved complaints or Emiratisation shortfalls, and it applies to every subsequent hire until corrected.

What to prepare

Trade licence and establishment card, both current
Emirates ID and passport of the authorised signatory
Employee passport copy and photograph
Attested degree and MOHRE equivalency, for regulated roles
Signed offer letter, before the contract stage
Evidence that WPS obligations and any fines are current

Why Tasheel transactions stall

No quota. Nothing proceeds until slots exist for that role.
Company category downgraded — higher fees, sometimes blocked issuance.
Offer and contract disagree on salary, title or hours.
Profession requires equivalency that has not been obtained.
Open labour complaint or unpaid MOHRE fine against the establishment.
Expired establishment card — easy to miss, stops everything.

What we do

As an authorised Amer and Tasheel typing centre partner we lodge labour transactions directly. 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.

Hiring, or stuck on a MOHRE transaction?

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.

Tasheel questions

What is a Tasheel centre?

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.

Can Tasheel issue my residence visa?

No. Tasheel covers the MOHRE work permit and contract. The residence visa, Emirates ID and cancellation are GDRFA transactions handled through Amer.

Does the employee need to attend?

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.

How do I find out my company's MOHRE category?

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.

Can I file a labour complaint at Tasheel?

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.

What does Tasheel charge?

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.
