TamkinExpress provides complete employment visa services for Fujairah DED mainland, Fujairah Free Zone (FFZ), and FOIZ (Fujairah Oil Industry Zone) companies. Fujairah is the UAE's key port and oil industry emirate — TamkinExpress handles all maritime, industrial, and free zone employment visa categories.
A UAE employment visa in Fujairah is a government-issued residency permit authorising a foreign national to legally live and work under employer sponsorship. Every foreign national employed by a Fujairah company must hold a valid MOHRE work permit and residency visa — this applies to Fujairah DED mainland, Fujairah Free Zone (FFZ), and FOIZ (Fujairah Oil Industry Zone). The 5-stage process: MOHRE work permit (3–5 days) → ICA entry permit (2–5 days) → medical fitness test (1–3 days) → Emirates ID biometrics (2–7 days) → GDRFA Fujairah residency stamping (3–7 days). Total: 2 to 4 weeks. Overstay fine: AED 25 per day. Illegal employment penalty: AED 50,000+. TamkinExpress handles all 5 stages for all Fujairah company types from Office No. 49, Musaffah M43, Abu Dhabi.
Fujairah is the UAE's leading port and maritime emirate, home to the world's third-largest oil bunkering hub and a growing industrial free zone. Employment visa requirements span three registration types: Fujairah DED mainland, Fujairah Free Zone (FFZ), and the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone (FOIZ) — each with distinct MOHRE work permit procedures and documentation requirements. TamkinExpress handles all three routes from its Musaffah M43 office, managing every MOHRE, ICA, EIDA, and GDRFA Fujairah submission digitally on behalf of Fujairah employers.
The Fujairah Oil Industry Zone (FOIZ) is a specialist zone for oil storage, bunkering, petrochemicals, and energy sector companies. FOIZ companies require specialist MOHRE work permit categories for maritime, oil field, and energy sector employees — categories that differ significantly from standard commercial work permits. Incorrect MOHRE category selection causes outright rejections. TamkinExpress understands FOIZ-specific MOHRE categories and documentation requirements, submitting correctly the first time for all Fujairah oil and maritime sector businesses.
Fujairah Free Zone (FFZ): FFZ companies require FFZ authority work permit approval before MOHRE submission and GDRFA Fujairah residency stamping. FFZ has specific documentation requirements separate from Fujairah DED mainland. | FOIZ (Fujairah Oil Industry Zone): Specialist MOHRE work permit categories for oil, energy, maritime, and petrochemical sector employees. FOIZ documentation and MOHRE category codes differ from standard commercial work permits. TamkinExpress handles both FFZ and FOIZ employment visa routes alongside Fujairah DED mainland — correctly and in the right sequence, from the first submission.

The most common question from Fujairah employers: does the employee need to leave the UAE to process their visa?
Inside country processing (change of status) converts the employee's existing visa to the new Fujairah employment visa — without leaving the UAE. Faster, no travel costs, no operational disruption. Not all visa types qualify. TamkinExpress checks eligibility before initiating.
Outside country processing requires the employee to exit the UAE and re-enter on the employment entry permit. Always available for all nationalities. Entry permit valid for 60 days from issuance. Standard process for new hires coming from abroad.
TamkinExpress assesses each employee's current visa status and advises the most cost-efficient route — no unnecessary travel, no wasted processing time for your Fujairah business.
