Teens in the UAE dreaming of a part time job, listen up.
If you want to make a little pocket money, save up for your future, or just find out what it’s like to work, we have great news.
The UAE has announced a new visa that will allow teenagers 15 years and older to get a part-time job, and get a taste of the workplace without interrupting their studies.
The decision could be hugely significant and is expected to create a greater culture of part-time and temporary work in the UAE.
The visa will permit teens access to the jobs market, build their skills, and help them decide what kind of career they’ll want to pursue in the future.
Existing visa rules made securing a job before university age almost impossible – but that is soon changing.

Companies will need to apply for juvenile work permits through the Ministry of Resources and Emiratisation. Application fees start at Dhs100 and on approval there is a Dhs500 payment that needs to be made.
Two additional classes of visas have also been announced with the aim of make living and working in the UAE more flexible. Read about the new visas here.

Teenagers in many countries are allowed to start work at 15 years of age. First-time jobs build character, help teenagers learn important skills such as responsibility and customer service, and will help set them apart when they are writing applications for higher education or trying to get a job after graduating from high school.
Teens, get ready to work.
