What documents are required for a Soft Power visa application if I'm a business owner in Dubai?

Question

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!

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.

Issue a NOC from your company to your self and sign it as HR Departement and done, I know it may sound stupid but that’s how it’s done in every other country where you own the company

Use ChatGPT for the NOC and make sure to make it nice looking the background letter head etc not a blank word file.

You are talking about workcation, not soft power.

Give them exactly what they want so they can tick off the box. Practically every business owner has been writing contracts to employ themselves, as redundant as it is.
