About Freelance Visa

The Dubai government, through TECOM’s GoFreelance initiative, makes it easier and affordable for freelancers to live and work in the UAE. The Freelance Visa and permit allow professionals to operate as independent contractors in sectors like tech, education, media, and design. Ideal for those on dependent visas, the permit identifies you as a sole practitioner, enabling business under your name rather than a brand.
