Start with the right questions
One goal. Different freelance routes.
“Freelance visa” is a common search term. The actual permit, licence, residence category and sponsor depend on the route you qualify for. We help you understand the difference.

Have residency already? Get guidance on the authorisation your professional activity may require.
Consultancy is provided from Dubai. The issuing authority and emirate depend on the selected option and will be identified in your quotation. A Dubai-based consultant does not mean every option is issued in Dubai.
Plans are subject to your card issuer or payment provider’s approval, eligibility and terms. Not all plans are available with every card or provider. Any applicable fees and payment schedule will be confirmed before you proceed.

Your freelance visa questions
Clarity before commitment.
Do you help with freelance visas?
Yes. Trivup provides private consultancy, document preparation and application support for UAE freelance permit, licence and residency options. We explain the route available for your circumstances. We do not issue visas or make approval decisions.
Is a freelance permit the same as a residence visa?
No. Work or business authorisation and permission to reside are separate matters. The exact documents and permissions depend on the selected route. Your quotation should identify both clearly where both are required.
How much will my freelance visa arrangements cost?
Request a written quotation based on your activity, current status and proposed route. It should separate our professional service fee from authority and third-party charges, and state whether medical, Emirates ID, status change, insurance and other applicable costs are included. There is no charge for the initial conversation.
Can I work with clients in Dubai and across the UAE?
The scope of your work depends on your licence or permit, activity and any additional approvals or location-specific requirements. Tell us where and how you intend to work so these points can be reviewed before you choose an option.
Are approval, a bank account or family sponsorship guaranteed?
No. Authorities decide residency and sponsorship applications, and banks decide whether to open accounts under their own requirements. We can explain the relevant steps, but cannot guarantee these outcomes.
Can I apply directly instead of using Trivup?
Where a direct application channel is available, you can apply through the relevant issuing authority without paying Trivup’s service fee. Our paid service is optional guidance and application support. Official information is available from GDRFA Dubai, ICP, MOHRE and the relevant licensing authority, depending on your route.
What happens if an application is rejected?
Approval is not guaranteed. Review the written cancellation and refund terms before payment, including which consultancy, authority or third-party charges may be non-refundable at each stage.
