Questions

Do all IT jobs in Dubai come with visa sponsorship?

Yes. Every employer in the UAE must sponsor its foreign staff's work permit and residence visa and pay for them; it's the law, so most ads don't mention it. What varies is whether the employer hires people who are still abroad: a few ads ask for people who already live in the UAE, and we leave those out of this list. Most of the jobs here are for software engineers and data scientists.

Which companies in Dubai hire from abroad?

Companies whose ads or careers pages say they hire from abroad include Geotab, Cobblestone Energy and Sonar. See our list of IT companies in Dubai for every employer we track.

Do I have to pay for my visa?

No. Under UAE labour law the employer pays for your work permit and residence visa. You may pay for your family's visas and for attesting your documents.

Can I apply from India?

Yes. Most employers interview online and apply for your entry permit after you accept the offer, so you only fly out once the permit is issued.
