A genuine job offer should be clear, consistent and verifiable before you agree to travel, pay money or hand over sensitive documents. Read the job title, salary, benefits, working conditions, employer details and any stated deductions. Do not rely only on a chat message or a document with a company logo.
MOHRE provides an official offer inquiry service where users can select job-offer and contract-related services. MOHRE guidance also states that approved job offers carry identifying information that can be verified through Ministry channels.

|---|---|
| Offer reference details | Helps verify the document through official channels. |
| Salary and benefits | Confirms what was actually offered. |
| Job title and location | Prevents confusion over the role. |

Our UAE corporate-tax registration checklist is for businesses, not jobseekers; do not confuse company tax documents with work-permit verification.
