Verified official information
What to know about United Arab Emirates work permit photo
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) requires a clear colour photo with a white background for the work permit. The remaining rules come from ICP’s photo guidance: under six months old, face at 70–80%, neutral expression and glasses without glare.
From everyday portrait to compliant result: United Arab Emirates work permit photo
We correct the framing and prepare the white background while preserving your natural appearance.
How it is actually submitted
The employer, its PRO or a Tasheel or Tawseel centre uploads the photo in the MOHRE electronic application. Emirates ID biometrics follow later in a separate ICP procedure. We deliver a high-quality file in 35 × 45 mm proportion plus a print version.
How to prepare
Take the photo with a white background, even light and eyes on the camera, with no shadows on the face. Remove any hat and sunglasses; if you wear prescription glasses, avoid glare and heavy frames over the eyes.
Common rejection reasons
- Blurred or shadowed photo
- Non-white background
- Sunglasses, tinted lenses or glare
- Hat or cap without a religious reason
- Photo older than six months
We check the requirements for you
