Hi Smita

Visas in Abu Dhabi can take up to a month or even two months to be processed. Whether you will get an e-visa depends on whether you applied for your visa online. But it is more likely that you will receive a regular visa when applying for a work entry permit.

Please see our page on Visas for Abu Dhabi for more information.

Thanks Candice. I had heard employers usually get it done with 1 or 2 weeks .
