I have been awaiting my employment visa from a company in abu dhabi for 2 months now.

I have submitted all the required documents and attested certificates. I was told the application has been processed further to the UAE embassy and that they are waiting for the embassy to release the empolyment.

I am asking what this means and why its takes this long? Does it mean security clearance.

Thanks for a kind reply.

Hi Neri,

While authoraties do say it usually takes about 10 days to process an application for a work visa - each individuals experience will be different. Unfortunatley, there is not much you can do to speed up the process but do continue to check back with the office to see if you can get some feedback.

For some general information on visas check out the Expat Arrivals page on Visas for Abu Dhabi. 

Good luck.
