Hiring from Sri Lanka to Dubai — common questions
- Timelines depend on the roles and headcount. For volume trades we typically work to four to eight weeks from approved brief to arrival in the UAE, covering sourcing, trade testing, medicals, visa processing and travel. Licensed or regulated roles take longer because of credential verification and UAE licensing steps.
