An Establishment Card is your company’s official ID, issued by the UAE Immigration Authority. It contains details like your company name, card number, and expiration date. You’ll need this card for crucial things like:

• Employee Visas: It’s mandatory to sponsor your employees’ visas, and the Establishment Card is a key part of the application process.
• Business Utilities: Connecting your office to electricity, water, and internet often requires presenting your Establishment Card.
