For the purpose of accelerating the issuance of work permits to foreign people, the UAE government is collaborating with payroll and onboarding startup Deel.
Under the partnership, Deel will be able to offer its customers, which include the likes of technology giants Coinbase and Shopify, access to different UAE visa options, and an expedited way of securing one.
Visa categories offered under the partnership also include the country’s long-term visa options, Golden and Green visas. The company will also facilitate flights and accommodations, and will provide health insurance and onboarding support, it said in a release.
Deel has partnered with the UAE’s Office of AI, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications for the new service.
“The UAE’s agility enables it to strive to become one of the most prosperous nations by pioneering its digital economy. The UAE adopts emerging technologies and enables skilled talents to achieve the UAE centennial 2071 vision of digital transformation,” Omar Sultan Al Olama, minister of state for AI, digital economy, and remote work applications, said.
