Dubai: If you have been working in the UAE for a few years and been recently promoted from an entry level position to a more senior role, what can you do if your visa still shows the initial position that you were hired on?

In the UAE, expatriate workers not only have a work permit issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), but they also have a visa issued by the immigration authority in the Emirate they are living in, and the visa mentions the individual’s occupation. However, there may be instances, like the one mentioned above, where the job title mentioned on your visa is different from your current work profile.
