Korean Documents for United Arab Emirates

Do I need UAE Embassy legalization for my Korean documents, or is apostille enough?

The UAE is not a Hague Apostille Convention member, so an apostille is not accepted. Korean documents go through authentication by the issuing authority, OKA authentication, and legalization at the UAE Embassy in Seoul. Check with the receiving body whether UAE MOFA attestation and an Arabic translation are also needed. Check the HCCH status table for the latest accession status.

What Korean documents do I need for a UAE Employment Visa?

The documents depend on the employer and on mainland or Free Zone sponsorship, so check with your employer first. If Korean documents such as a degree certificate or criminal background check are needed, our specialists can help with legalization and translation.

Golden Visa terms vary by category: public investors 10 years, property investors (AED 2M+) 5 years, entrepreneurs 5 years, exceptional talent and specialists 10 years, outstanding students 5–10 years (per the UAE government portal u.ae). Some talent categories require accredited degrees. Your receiving UAE authority will confirm the exact document checklist.

What Korean documents do I need to set up a company in the UAE?
