Dubai Launches Website Where People Can Search and Apply for Government Jobs

  • The Government of Dubai launched Dubai Careers, an online platform listing government job vacancies open to job seekers
  • It is noteworthy that the official platform connects applicants directly with Dubai government entities across various sectors
  • Job seekers can visit the Dubai Careers website to search and apply for available government roles and opportunities in 2026

The Government of Dubai has launched an online platform called Dubai Careers, giving job seekers, including foreigners, a direct channel to find and apply for government positions across the emirate.

The platform is designed to bridge the gap between Dubai's public sector entities and people looking for work, making it easier to discover vacancies in one centralised location rather than searching individual government agency websites.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Dubai had published four requirements that foreigners must satisfy to qualify for its five-year Green Residence permit.

Details of the scheme are published on the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFAD) website, which confirms the permit is renewable for additional five-year periods under the same terms as the original issuance.

The classification levels referenced in the requirements are based on standards approved by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, meaning applicants must confirm their occupation falls within the recognised skilled categories before applying.
