Establishment Cards & Immigration
Support with establishment card issuance, renewal and related immigration transactions.
Service overview
An immigration establishment card identifies a registered entity within the immigration system. Businesses may need issuance, renewal or record changes before related sponsorship transactions can proceed. Immigration records are distinct from labour establishment records.

Costs & fees
Charges vary by immigration authority and whether the card is new, renewed or amended. Outstanding matters and associated document processing may change the total.
No fixed prices are published. Confirm current authority charges and request a case-specific breakdown separating professional assistance and any third-party costs before proceeding.
Processing time
Licence validation, mismatched details, authorisation and immigration review affect completion. Related visa applications are separate procedures.
Important considerations
- A card does not guarantee visa allocation or sponsorship approval.
- The competent immigration authority depends on location and registration arrangements.
- Track licence and establishment-card validity separately.
- For the linked ICP issuance route, a valid commercial licence and signatory Emirates ID or unified number are required; ICP specifies authorised submission channels, and free zone requests go through the relevant free zone authority. This does not establish our status as an authorised provider.
Document checklist
Final documentation depends on the relevant authority and your circumstances. This is a preparation list, not a universal legal requirement.

Request a ConsultationFrequently asked questions
Is this the same as a labour establishment record?
No. Immigration and labour registrations serve different systems and may require separate transactions.
Can I renew with an expired licence?
Licence validity and other prerequisites must be checked with the relevant immigration authority first.
What happens after a company-name change?
The immigration file may need amendment to match the updated licence and incorporation records.
Does the card approve employee visas?
No. Each visa and any labour permit must satisfy its own conditions and approval process.
