Expatriates can renew their labor cards / work permit up to the age of 65 (or 70 for a selected list of professions). The renewal is yearly instead of three-yearly over the age of 60. Previously the age limit was 60, or 65 for the following professions: engineers, doctors, university professors, accountants and auditors, laboratory and electronic equipment technicians, specialists in privately-owned oil companies, specialists in the media, lawyers, translators, and consultants in all fields or other professions agreed on by the undersecretary of labor or the assistant undersecretary.

If you have received an acceptance email for a particular position that would mean your resume matches a position/positions that we are currently recruiting for an employer. As a registered member of JID, your resume will also be made available to over 8000 registered employers of JID across the UAE and Middle East region. We will also submit your resume during custom searches to potential employers that post similar job postings that match your qualifications until you are placed successfully.

The law in UAE requires that we scrutinize every picture that is posted on the site in order to adhere to the strict law pertaining to posting pictures on websites. For UAE nationals and residents, our requirement is that they present a copy of their passport and visa, which act as legal validation for their identity and also serves the purpose of loading up a SnapShot for the candidate. For candidates from other countries, while we strongly encourage posting a resume SnapShot, it does require our staff to closely review and approve all images posted. This additional effort and resource is why we charge the deposit fee. Please note that having a picture resume SnapShot is always an advantage because 95% of our employers prefer to view candidates that have a complete resume SnapShot. If you do not wish to pay a deposit to secure a resume SnapShot and take advantage of its prominence on our main website portal, simply advise JID staff members via our contact support options located in your Temp Account.
