What a PRO does

A PRO handles your company's transactions with government departments: licence renewals and amendments, immigration files, labour submissions, Emirates ID, attestation and document clearing. The role is procedural, deadline-driven and continuous.

When to outsource

Outsourcing usually makes sense when:

  • Your headcount does not justify a full-time PRO
  • Renewals and visa expiries are being missed
  • You operate across multiple authorities
  • You need coverage during holidays and absences
  • Transactions are irregular but time-critical
  • You want documented status reporting

How engagements are structured

Either per transaction, where you pay for what you use, or on a monthly retainer covering a defined scope plus renewal monitoring. Retainers suit companies with staff visas and multiple annual renewals.

What good looks like

A named officer, written status updates, proactive expiry tracking and honest timelines. Any PRO who promises outcomes that depend on a government decision should be treated with caution.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer? A consultant can walk you through the detail in a short call.

Yes. We take over existing files regularly and will review your current compliance status as part of onboarding.

Scope is agreed in writing — typically a defined number of transactions per month, renewal monitoring and a named point of contact.

Cost depends on the authority, licence type, number of visas and office option you choose. We prepare a written, itemised quotation for your specific case rather than publishing a headline figure that may not apply to you.

Timelines vary by authority, activity and how quickly documents and approvals are returned. Your consultant gives you an indicative schedule at the start and keeps you updated at each stage.
