Dubai is a booming hub for delivery and logistics, and the demand for professional bike riders is higher than ever. If you’ve secured a job offer in Dubai as a rider, you’re likely eligible for the 7-day entry work permit—a fast-track option to help you land, complete formalities, and start work in a week.
As your trusted visa partner, Globexa Immigration is here to walk you through everything you need.
1. What is the 7‑Day Entry Permit?
This short-term permit, issued by the UAE’s immigration authorities (GDRFA or ICA), allows newly hired workers—especially in land transport, like bike delivery riders—to enter Dubai and complete onboarding within 7 days.
It’s a crucial first step toward obtaining your full UAE work visa, Emirates ID, and occupational license.
2. Who is Eligible?
You may qualify if:
You’ve received a job offer from a Dubai-based company
You’re being sponsored by your employer or through Globexa Immigration
You have a valid motorcycle licence (UAE or international equivalent)
You are 18–45 years old and physically fit
You’re prepared to complete medical and security clearances on arrival
3. Documents You’ll Need
To ensure your 7‑day entry permit is processed smoothly, you’ll need to prepare a complete set of documents. First and foremost, a valid passport with at least 6 months of remaining validity is required for visa processing. Along with that, you’ll need passport-size photographs, typically used for both your entry permit and Emirates ID.
A signed job offer letter or employment contract from your Dubai-based employer is necessary to prove your role as a delivery or bike rider. You’ll also need a sponsor letter—this can be provided either by your employer or through Globexa Immigration, which is essential for initiating your entry permit request with the GDRFA.
If you’re planning to ride a motorcycle in Dubai, a valid UAE motorcycle licence or a legally accepted international equivalent is mandatory. Additionally, a RTA occupational safety permit is needed to confirm that you’re authorized and trained to operate as a delivery rider.
Health documentation is just as important. You’ll need proof of health insurance coverage, which is mandatory for all UAE visa holders, and a medical fitness certificate from an approved UAE health centre to confirm you’re physically fit for the job. During your first week in Dubai, you’ll also complete the Emirates ID pre-approval form and biometric registration as part of your residency process.
Lastly, your employer must submit a valid trade license, proving they are officially registered and authorized to hire riders in the UAE.
