UAE Introduces Work Permits for Workers Under 18
The UAE's Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has outlined 13 categories of work permits for registered private-sector establishments, including two specifically for workers under the age of 18. The juvenile work permit allows businesses to hire individuals aged between 15 and 18 years, valid for one year, under conditions that ensure a safe working environment for minors.
The second permit, the student training and employment permit, is designed for 15-year-old students residing in the UAE, allowing them to work or train under defined terms for a period of three months. In addition to these youth-focused permits, MoHRE issues several other work permits, including a standard work permit for foreign workers valid for two years, a permit for transferring existing non-UAE workers between establishments, and a temporary work permit for individuals already in the UAE.
These measures aim to regulate employment and ensure the safety of young workers in the UAE.
