What’s happening in September 2026
Tech jobs
Business activity reached a 20-month high in August, but tech hiring is selective: software hiring fell 6% in the second quarter, and employment in the August business survey dipped slightly. Referrals help more than usual.

Questions about jobs in Dubai
Do these jobs come with a visa?
Yes. In the UAE the employer applies for and pays for your work permit and residence visa; it's the law, so ads rarely mention it. A few ads ask for people who already live in the UAE: we mark those “UAE residents only”.
Can I apply from abroad?
Yes. Most employers interview online and apply for your entry permit once you accept. Apply on the employer's own site; we link to it.
Do I have to pay anyone to apply?
No. Applying is free. A recruiter or employer asking you for money to get a job is a warning sign; don't pay.
