Indicative starting fees. The UAE carries higher EOR fees than many markets because of visa-processing and insurance overhead. Your exact rate depends on role, salary and volume.

Pricing questions

What to expect

Why is the UAE more expensive than some other EOR markets?
UAE EOR fees tend to run higher than average because visa sponsorship, the medical and Emirates ID process, and mandatory insurance all add real administrative cost that does not exist in markets without work-visa requirements.
Is there a deposit?
Often yes, commonly around one month of gross salary, held to cover payroll. It is refundable and we confirm the amount in your quote.
Do you charge to offboard someone?
Standard offboarding, including final settlement and visa cancellation, is part of the service. We will flag any unusual costs upfront.
When does an own entity make more sense?
Once your headcount grows or you need to invoice and contract locally, the per-employee fee can exceed the cost of running your own entity. We are happy to model that comparison and help you transition.
