Hi. i wanted to know if there's really a qualification for accountant visa in MOl or the company will just apply it for you and consider you as accountant?

Hello guest and welcome to the Working in Dubai forum .

As far as I know the job description with the UAE Ministry of Labour depends on what the sponsor / company submits to them. For some jobs there are minimum qualification and licensing requirements (for example jobs in the health sector, teacher, lecturer, manager, etc). For an accountant they might require an accounting qualification depending on what the exact job title is.

Check with the UAE MOL what the minimum requirements are. They will probably vary depending on your exact job title.

At a guess I would say a Bachelor degree in Accounting or Business would be needed for a management position. Lower than that perhaps a vocational qualification is sufficient. Note that sometimes companies give a different job title to get around any minimum qualification requirements.
