In the UAE, the term PRO stands for Public Relations Officer, but its scope goes far beyond traditional PR. A PRO is a specialist who handles all interactions between your company and government departments: visa applications, Emirates ID registration, trade license renewals, document attestation, and a wide range of other official transactions.

What Does a PRO Do?

  • Visa services: Investor visas, employment visas, dependent visas, domestic worker visas, renewals, and cancellations
  • Emirates ID: Application, renewal, and replacement for shareholders, employees, and dependents
  • Trade license: New license applications, annual renewals, activity amendments, trade name changes
  • Labour and immigration: Work permit applications, MOHRE establishment card, quota management
  • Document attestation: Educational certificates, marriage certificates, company documents through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
  • Translation: Certified Arabic-English translation of legal and commercial documents
  • Tax Residency Certificate: Application to the FTA for UAE Tax Residency Certificates

Why Outsource PRO Services?

Handling government transactions in the UAE requires knowledge of Arabic, familiarity with constantly changing government portals and processes, and physical presence at government offices. Mistakes or incomplete applications result in costly delays and re-submissions.

For most SMEs, maintaining an in-house PRO is not economically justified. A specialised PRO service provider offers expert knowledge of current government requirements, established relationships with government departments, fast-tracking of applications, and digital tracking with status updates.

How Much Do PRO Services Cost?

  • Employment visa (single): AED 1,500 to 3,000 inclusive of government fees
  • Annual PRO retainer for ongoing company needs: AED 500 to 2,500 per month
  • Trade license renewal: AED 800 to 2,500 professional fees plus government fees
  • Document attestation (per document): AED 200 to 600
