What is TASHEEL?

As a resident of the UAE, you must have probably come across the word “TASHEEL'' or rather “Tas’heel” in the raw form. You find it mostly common while dealing with issues relating to work permits, labour contracts, and other MOHRE employment transactions (and it may come up alongside residence visa steps, which are handled by immigration authorities).

TASHEEL is a network of MOHRE-approved service centers and channels that was created with the sole aim of handling and providing remedies for any labour or employment-related matters. This system is managed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). For entrepreneurs and employers involved in business setup in UAE, TASHEEL plays a crucial role in processing employment contracts, work permits, and labour-related transactions efficiently.

Please note: Tasheel is primarily linked to MOHRE processes in the private sector, while residence visa stamping and immigration procedures are handled by GDRFA (Dubai) or ICP (other emirates).

TASHEEL services

As an online government platform, TASHEEL renders a lot of assistance to both private and public sectors. In practice, Tasheel is mainly used for private-sector labour and employment transactions under MOHRE.

TASHEEL has service centers in all the Emirates of the UAE to solve labour related cases. It is also at these centres that the both parties appear for possible case resolution. So it isn't just online based. Tasheel centers help individuals and companies submit and process MOHRE labour transactions (such as work permits and labour contracts). For formal labour disputes and complaints, it is best to use MOHRE’s official complaint and advisory channels, as the process is handled through MOHRE.

These services now come in place to ensure that rights of the workers within the labour code are protected. Below are the services offered within the TASHEEL system.

Work permit services:

  • Work Permit replacement
    This generally refers to work permit and employment-related changes processed under MOHRE rules. The exact procedure and fees depend on the transaction type and your company’s labour file status, so it’s best to confirm the current requirements before applying.
  • Getting a temporary work permit
    This system allows individuals (expats or UAE nationals) to work for a company for a short period limited to 6 months. Such a permit is provided by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).
  • Cancellation of work visa
    This happens when an employment visa gets cancelled either by the initiative of the employer or employee.
  • Relative sponsor permit
    Work permit for a person sponsored by a family member (dependent sponsorship). This is like a no-objection confirmation from your spouse during the work permit application.

Labour card services:

  • New labour card
  • Labour card modification
  • Reporting lost labour card
  • New mission card

Additional ungrouped services rendered by the Tasheel:

  • Sponsorship transfer
  • Company licence renewal
  • Nawakas
  • Employee’s Salary certificate
  • Online work permit cancellation
  • Cancellation of new labour contract application
  • Company list of employees
  • Expired labour card list
  • Labour card information 
  • Owner role information

Why TASHEEL?

TASHEEL ensures that concerns and complaints are handled in the most outstanding way by skilled and well trained professionals. It also offers you a quick and direct link to official government system services. This means that no third party comes in place. In simple terms, Tasheel centers help you access MOHRE services through approved channels, which is especially useful when you need document review, application submission, or typing support.

Again, using TASHEEL means you save a lot of time and energy, as the system works fast to ensure cases are resolved. 

Additionally, with the availability of the online services and their mobile app, you can successfully track your complaint status. For complaint tracking and formal dispute progress, use MOHRE’s official channels and references provided during submission.
