PRO Services in Dubai — Government Liaison Without the Headaches
PRO services in Dubai handle all government liaison work for your business — including visa processing, trade license renewals, Emirates ID registration, labour card processing, Emiratisation compliance, and document attestation with MOHRE, DET, and GDRFA. ZETUP PRO provides these services on a monthly retainer basis starting from AED 839/month based on employee count, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.
What PRO Services Cover
A PRO (Public Relations Officer) service company acts as the bridge between your business and Dubai's government agencies. Instead of sending your staff to queue at Amer centres, navigate the MOHRE portal, or figure out what documents the DET needs for your licence renewal, your PRO company handles all of it.

How ZETUP PRO's PRO Service Works
Step 1: PRO Health Check (Free) — We start with a free 30-minute assessment of your current PRO setup. We identify compliance gaps, check visa and licence deadlines, review your Emiratisation status, and compare what you are paying now to what you should be paying.
Step 2: Onboarding (Week 1) — We collect all company documents, set up your dedicated WhatsApp group, build your 12-month renewal calendar, and conduct a full compliance audit. You receive a branded onboarding report on Day 7 showing your compliance status across every obligation.
Step 3: Ongoing Service — Your dedicated account coordinator handles every government transaction. You submit requests via WhatsApp. We process them, provide real-time status updates, and send transparent monthly invoices with government fee receipts attached.
Why Companies Switch Their PRO to ZETUP PRO
Transparent pricing: We separate service fees from government fees on every invoice. No hidden charges, no surprise add-ons. Your monthly retainer is agreed before we start, and government fees are passed through at cost.
Proactive communication: Dedicated WhatsApp group for every client. Status updates before you ask. Renewal reminders 60 days in advance. Regulatory alerts within 24 hours of any changes that affect your business.
First-time accuracy: Led by Edina Sultan's 17+ years of UAE government expertise, our team knows what every department needs. Applications go through correctly the first time, saving you the weeks of delays caused by rejected paperwork.
No lock-in: 30-day termination clause on all agreements. We earn your business through performance, not contractual obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions
A PRO company handles all interactions between your business and UAE government agencies. This includes visa processing, trade licence renewals, document attestation, Emirates ID services, labour card processing, and Emiratisation compliance. We act as your full-time government liaison team.
ZETUP PRO's corporate PRO retainers start from AED 839/month based on employee count. The exact cost depends on employee count, expected transaction volume, and service complexity. Government fees are billed separately at cost. We always provide a detailed written quote before engagement.
Yes, and it is typically 30-50% cheaper. An in-house PRO officer costs AED 8,000-15,000/month in salary alone, plus visa costs, insurance, and office space. With ZETUP PRO, you get a full team for less than the cost of a single hire, with no HR liability.
Standard employment visa processing takes 3-7 business days after all documents are submitted. We offer expedited processing for urgent situations at a premium. Timelines vary by visa type and nationality.
This is more common than it should be. We have experience managing document handovers from reluctant providers. In most cases, companies are legally entitled to their documents, and we can facilitate the transfer.
Our primary focus is Dubai mainland (DET) companies. We can assist free zone companies with visa processing, document attestation, and select government services. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.
We provide full Emiratisation lifecycle management — from quota calculation and gap analysis through Nafis registration, coordination with Emirati recruitment agencies, onboarding documentation, and ongoing MoHRE compliance reporting. This is available as an add-on or included in our Professional and Enterprise tiers.
We handle rejections and re-submissions at no additional cost. Our first-time accuracy rate means rejections are rare, but when they happen, we resolve them immediately and keep you informed of the timeline.

Real outcomes for real clients
All case studiesConstruction
Switching PRO providers in 7 days — without disruption
A mid-market Dubai construction company was bleeding budget on PRO surprise charges and missing visa-renewal deadlines. Within a week of engaging ZETUP PRO, the full handover from their previous provider was complete with zero compliance gap.
Hospitality
From non-compliant to fully Emiratised in 90 days
A 70-employee hospitality group was facing AED 27,000+ per month in Emiratisation non-compliance fines. ZETUP PRO mapped the gaps, registered them on Nafis, and helped them place 3 Emirati employees in skilled roles within 90 days — with subsidies recovering most of the salary cost.
