关键注意事项 Key Notes
1. 材料合规性：若学历证明为境外发出，通常要求经过合法化/认证流程（如由出具国有关部门、当地外交部或教育部、随后经 UAE 大使馆/领事馆认证，最终由 UAE MOFA 认证）以确保被 UAE 当局接受。对于无犯罪记录 / 良好品行证明 （Good Conduct / Police Clearance），在许多签证/移民程序中也需经过本地认证、使馆认证、MOFA 认证等步骤。
如提交伪造或不真实材料，申请可能被拒绝、签证被撤销或产生法律后果。
If the educational certificate is issued outside the country, it usually needs to go through a legalization/authentication process (e.g., authenticated by the relevant authorities of the issuing country, the local Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Ministry of Education, then by the Embassy/Consulate of the UAE, and finally by the UAE MOFA) to ensure acceptance by the UAE authorities.
For the Certificate of No Criminal Record / Good Conduct (Police Clearance), it also needs to go through steps such as local authentication, embassy authentication, and MOFA authentication in many visa/immigration procedures.
If forged or untrue documents are submitted, the application may be rejected, the visa revoked, or legal consequences may occur
2. 流程差异：自由区企业员工签证由对应自由区管理局直接审批，流程及时效略有不同，需以自由区官方指南为准。
Process Differences: Work visas for employees of free zone companies are directly approved by the corresponding free zone authority, with slight variations in procedures and timelines. Refer to the official guidelines of the specific free zone.
3. 政策查询：实时流程变动及材料清单可通过MOHRE官网（https://www.mohre.gov.ae）、GDRFA官网（https://www.gdrfad.gov.ae）核实。
Policy Inquiries: For real-time process changes and document lists, verify via the MOHRE official website (https://www.mohre.gov.ae) and GDRFA official website (https://www.gdrfad.gov.ae).
