Setting Up Labour Accommodation in Dubai: What the Rules Require

If your business houses workers in the UAE, the accommodation you provide has to meet a set of official standards — from where it sits on the map to how the air is handled inside. Here is a plain walkthrough of what the authority asks for, so you can plan the site properly before anyone moves in.

Official source: The Official UAE Government Portal (u.ae)

Procedure per The Official UAE Government Portal (u.ae). Fees and timelines change — check the authority's website. We don't invent numbers.

What the standards cover

  1. 1

    Register in the MoHRE system

    Establishments must register in the Labour Accommodation System of MoHRE and make sure the information entered is valid and kept accurate.

    Documents:MoHRE registration
  2. 2

    Get the site licensed and placed correctly

    The accommodation should be licensed by government authorities. It must be located at least 5 km away from family housing areas, and kept away from tourist sites, investment zones, sources of environmental pollution, and rainwater drainage channels.

    Documents:Government licence
  3. 3

    Sit close to the work, and stay compliant

    The accommodation should be close to industrial areas or areas presenting job opportunities, and it must comply with all sanitary, environmental and safety requirements.

  4. 4

    Fit ventilation and air-conditioning throughout

    All rooms, kitchens, dining rooms, corridors, offices and lounges must be provided with ventilation systems and a central air-conditioner.
