Payroll suite

Visa & immigration

Seven features that turn the visa process from a WhatsApp thread with a PRO into a tracked pipeline — with the documents, the stages and the expiry dates all on the employee record.

Visa processing is the most UAE-specific thing an HR team does, and the least well served by imported software. It runs across several authorities, needs documents produced in a particular order, and is usually coordinated by a PRO whose progress lives in a chat thread.

KLEDHR gives the process a shape: stages, owners, documents and dates, per employee and per entity — so the answer to “where is Ahmed's visa?” is a screen rather than a phone call.

Step-by-step pipeline

Entry permit, medical, Emirates ID, visa stamping and labour card as tracked stages, each with an owner and an expected duration.

Process templates

Different flows for new hires, dependants, renewals and cancellations — and for the entity type, because free zone and mainland don't share a path.

Status dashboard

Every in-flight case in one view, by stage and by age, so the one stuck at medicals for three weeks is visible without asking.

UAE document specifics

Photo specs, attestations, NOCs and offer letters generated to the format each stage expects, on your letterhead.

Expiry with lead time

Renewals start from the expiry date working backwards, with enough notice to actually complete — not an alert on the day it lapses.

PRO handover

External PROs get scoped access to the cases they handle, so their updates land on the record instead of in a message.

Why a chat thread stops working

A PRO managing eight cases in messages is efficient. The same PRO managing eighty is a single point of failure, and the failure mode is a fine plus an employee who cannot legally work.

  • Each stage has an owner, a start date and an expected duration, so delay is measurable.
  • Documents attach to the stage that needs them and stay on the employee record afterwards.
  • Costs per case — fees, medicals, typing — captured as they happen for the entity's books.
  • Cancellations run as their own flow, because an exit needs the visa closed too.

Questions we get asked

Does KLEDHR file with the authorities directly?
No. It tracks and prepares — stages, documents, costs and dates. Filing stays with your PRO or typing centre, whose updates land back on the case.
Can we track dependants' visas?
Yes, as linked cases against the employee, with their own expiry tracking.
