Quick answer

Technology companies in Dubai often recruit internationally, so their PRO needs start with bringing new hires into the UAE: entry permits, residence visas, medical tests and Emirates ID. Renewals, employer documents for family sponsorship and licence renewals with the DET or a free zone such as DMCC, Dubai Internet City or DSO follow as the team grows. IMC provides these services across Dubai mainland and free zones, with 45+ years of experience and 500+ companies supported.
