Dubai has made significant progress in supporting its business sector by introducing a comprehensive Work Bundle, now accessible to more than 275,000 companies within the city. This move is part of a broader effort to streamline business processes, with the service set to expand across all Emirates in the near future.
Simplifying Business Operations Across the UAE
The United Arab Emirates has introduced this unified platform to simplify services related to hiring and visa renewals for employees, merging the procedures of five federal and local authorities into a single, efficient system.
Dr. Abdulrahman Awar, Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation for the UAE, highlighted the platform’s aim to cut through red tape, making the UAE a more attractive destination for startups and entrepreneurs.
The initiative was launched in collaboration with various authorities, including the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, Customs, Ports Security, Dubai Health, and the Department of Emiratisation, to facilitate seamless data exchange and improve operational efficiency for businesses.
During a press conference at the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, officials detailed the Work Bundle’s objectives to minimize government red tape and ease procedures for companies, startups, and entrepreneurs.
This service is currently available on the Invest in Dubai platform and will be rolled out across the country, offering businesses the ability to complete transactions swiftly, including using the Emirates ID for payments, reflecting the UAE’s rapid digital transformation.
Lieutenant General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, Director General of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, emphasized that this announcement underscores the UAE’s commitment to attracting global companies by enhancing its digital infrastructure and administrative processes.

The Council of Health Insurance and the Saudi Insurance Authority began implementing this decision, requiring employers to provide insurance for domestic workers if their number exceeds four.
The general requirements for applying benefits and coverage under the policy include submitting a medical disclosure form, obtaining approval from the health insurance company, and insuring all workers.
This mandatory health insurance initiative is part of the Council of Health Insurance and the Insurance Authority‘s efforts to ensure comprehensive care, prevention, justice, transparency, and excellence in performance for all stakeholders.
The decision aims to achieve comprehensive health care, sustain health coverage, and encourage health insurance companies and healthcare providers to develop new products and create job opportunities in medical and non-medical specialties.
Iman Al-Tariqi, the official spokesperson of the Council of Health Insurance, explained that the domestic workers’ insurance policy covers primary care, public health, emergency cases, hospitalization without a deductible, emergency treatments for clinics with unlimited visits, vaccinations, and examinations.
