PRO Services in Deira, Dubai

A PRO handles the government paperwork a company cannot afford to get wrong: residence visas, labour contracts, the MOHRE establishment card, Emirates ID, trade licence renewals, tenancy registration (Ejari in Dubai) and document attestation.

The work runs through three channels:

• Tasheel centres for the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation
• Amer centres for residence visas in Dubai (in the other emirates, residence visas go through ICP)
• The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) for Emirates ID

A PRO who knows which counter handles which step saves days. Fines for a late renewal or an unfinished cancellation land on your company file, so the person doing the work should be someone you can name and call.

Where the risk sits

The risk is control, not cost. A missed visa cancellation or an expired licence fines the company, not the PRO. Look for a company licensed with a documents clearing activity, ask which government channels it is registered on, and insist on receipts for every fee it passes on.

What it costs

On top of the government charge:

• Annual packages: about AED 2,000 to 6,000
• Per-transaction service fees: AED 100 to 500

These are typical Dubai prices; in the other emirates prices are often similar or somewhat lower.
