These are not. Every one gives you the full answer immediately, shows the working, and tells you what it cannot know. If a tool saves you a wasted application fee and you never contact us, that is a reasonable outcome.
Every one of these works from what you type in. We work from what is actually recorded against your file at MOHRE, GDRFA and ICP — which is frequently different, and always the number that matters.
The most common example: your overstay grace period runs from the date your employer recorded your cancellation, not your last working day. No calculator can know that date. Our file check confirms it in minutes: AED 100 (5% VAT included), fully credited to your fee if you go ahead.

If you run an HR function, a community group or an expat forum and these are useful to your people, link to them freely. We would rather the right numbers circulated than the wrong ones.
Please note. All figures are estimates based on published rates and rules; counter prices were last checked on 1 November 2026. Government fees and thresholds change, and individual cases are assessed on their own facts. Confirm your position before acting on any result. General information, not legal or financial advice.
The number that matters
A passport page, an Emirates ID number, a trade licence or a labour contract. We come back with the real position, the cost and a realistic date — before you commit to anything. Where we need to look into your record, the file check is AED 100 (5% VAT included), fully credited to your fee if you go ahead.
