Hi everyone, I need some advice.
I'm under an investor visa in the UAE and recently applied under the *Soft Power* route in Dubai. I chose “Business Owner” when filling out the application. I read here that employment verification isn’t required for Soft Power, so I submitted a straightforward application.
They got back to me asking for more documents. I’m the manager of my own company, so I’m wondering:
1. Is a MOA stating I’m the manager enough instead of a contract?
2. I read that some of you created your own employment contracts to yourself. But if you’re a business owner, will this flag you?
3. Can I issue an NOC to myself and also be the authorized signatory?
I know each embassy may have different requirements, but I’d really appreciate hearing what worked for you regardless and if you're someone with the same experience in Dubai.
PS: Of course I will adhere to the requirements and still submit what's requested, I just want to be careful not to cause confusion.
Thanks in advance!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on the necessary documents for their Soft Power visa application in Dubai, specifically regarding employment verification and self-issuance of documents as a business owner. They inquire if a Memorandum of Association (MOA), self-created contracts, and issuing a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to themselves are appropriate. Responses suggest it's common practice for business owners to create self-employment contracts and to issue NOCs, recommending clarity in document submission to meet embassy requirements.
