Can a male on his wife’s family visa get a work permit/labor card in Dubai Media City?
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone has been in a similar situation or knows how this works.
I’m currently on a **family visa sponsored by my wife**. I recently got a job with a company in **Dubai Media City**, and I’m about to sign the employment contract.
The issue is that HR told me they **cannot process a labor card/work permit** because I’m on my wife’s visa. They said they can process work permits for:
Golden Visa holders
Female employees on their husband’s spouse visa
But they said they **can’t process mine** because I’m a **male dependent sponsored by my wife**.
I don’t want to cancel my family visa and switch to the company’s visa because it’s a **performance-based job**, and I’d prefer to keep my residence independent in case the job doesn’t work out.
Has anyone here (especially a **male sponsored by their wife**) successfully obtained a work permit while keeping their family visa in Dubai Media City or another UAE free zone?
Is this an actual **Dubai Media City/DDA rule**, or is it just the company’s policy or PRO’s understanding?
Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
