Abstract
A new ministerial decree, number 51 of 2022, has been released by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization. The resolution laid down the rules and regulations for employment agencies. Article 5 of the resolution states that an Agency may open branches in the same Emirate where it holds an operating license or in any other Emirate under local licensing requirements. It would not need Ministry’s approval, provided the Agency complies with the same licensing requirements outlined in the executive regulations and this decree.
