The routes we handle

Two routes to residency. One for people who already have it.

The two residency routes below reach the same place — a UAE residence visa and an Emirates ID — by different arrangements, and the difference matters more than the price does. One puts the permit and the visa in your name. The other has a MOHRE-licensed agency employ and sponsor you. The third route is the freelance permit on its own, for people who already hold residency. What each one includes is on its card, and confirmed in your written quotation before anything is filed.

Route 02 Most enquired

Freelance Permit & Residency

The permit and the residence visa it sponsors, filed as one application. The permit is in your name, and so is your residency — nobody else holds your status for you.

The permit is what sponsors the visa, so both are filed together

  • Everything in the Freelance Permit
  • Self-sponsored residence visa, one or two years
  • Entry permit, or status change without leaving
  • Medical and Emirates ID biometrics
  • Up to 10 activities, agreed against your invoices
  • Family sponsorship guidance

Route 03 · Residency without invoicing

Not included: a freelance permit in your own name

  • Two-year residence visa and work permit
  • Sponsored through a MOHRE-licensed agency
  • Entry permit, or status change without leaving
  • Medical and Emirates ID biometrics
  • Renewal timing and absence rules explained

Every route is quoted individually in writing after a free consultation, and nothing is payable — and nothing is filed — until the written quote is agreed. Family members are quoted with your application. Approval is decided by the authorities and is not guaranteed.

Before you choose

Trivup Documents Clearing Services is a private Dubai documents-clearing company (trade licence 1242868). We are not a government department, and we are not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by any UAE government authority.

Permits, licences and residency visas are issued solely by the relevant UAE authorities, which decide every application on its own merits. We advise on and prepare applications; approval is not guaranteed.

You may apply directly to the relevant authority yourself — GDRFA Dubai, ICP or MOHRE — without paying our fee.

On the employment-based route, your employer and visa sponsor is a recruitment agency licensed by the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, not Trivup; we work as its partner. Your residency is tied to that employment continuing.

Side by side

What actually differs between the routes.

Who sponsors your visa, whose name the permit is in, and whether you can invoice in it. Those three rows decide it for most people.

Before you commit

What people ask about the price.

01What does the price include?

Everything listed on the route’s card. Before anything is filed you receive a written quotation that confirms the route, its inclusions and the figure for your case, and nothing is payable until you agree it.

02Do family members cost extra?

Yes. On either residency route your family can be sponsored once your own residency is issued, and each person is quoted with your application.

03What happens if my application is rejected?

Approval is never guaranteed — the authorities decide every application. If the initial approval is rejected, AED 1,000 is kept as an application and documentation fee and the rest is refunded under the terms you accept.

04What do I pay in year two?

The freelance permit renews every year, and you receive a renewal quotation before anything is charged. On the Freelance Permit & Residency route the residence visa renews at the end of its term; on the Employment-Based Residency route it renews every two years.

05When do I pay?

Nothing is payable, and nothing is filed, until the written quote is agreed. The quote sets out what is paid, and when.

06Can I apply directly myself?

Yes. The authorities accept applications directly — GDRFA Dubai and ICP for residency, MOHRE for work permits, and the free zone for a freelance permit — and you pay no agency fee that way. Our price is for doing it with you, end to end.

Not sure which?

Two questions, and it usually settles itself.

First: do you already hold UAE residency? Then, do you want to invoice clients in your own name?

  • 1Already resident — on a family visa or a Golden Visa, say: Freelance Permit on its own is normally all you need.
  • 2Not resident, and you want to invoice in your own name: Freelance Permit & Residency, the route that puts the permit and the visa in your name.
  • 3Not resident, and residency is what you are after: Employment-Based Residency through the licensed agency.
