PRO (Public Relations Officer)

 


PRO (Public Relations Officer) 

Services are professional government liaison services that assist companies, investors, and employees in handling all administrative procedures and documentation with public authorities.

In the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other GCC countries, PRO services are not optional — they are a legal and practical necessity for any company operating or employing staff. From company formation to visa renewals, PRO specialists ensure that all activities meet the requirements of ministries, free zones, and government departments.

⚙️ Core Purpose of PRO Services

The main goal of PRO services is to streamline communication between the private sector and government entities. Businesses often face complex and time-consuming procedures involving multiple departments — PRO experts manage this on their behalf, ensuring speed, compliance, and transparency.

These services cover every stage of a company’s lifecycle:

  • Pre-setup: licensing, name reservation, trade approvals

  • Post-setup: visa processing, labor file creation, and company updates

  • Ongoing: renewals, amendments, attestation, and regulatory filings

🧩 Key Areas Covered Under PRO Services

1. Visa and Immigration Management

  • Applying for, renewing, or cancelling residence and employment visas.

  • Coordinating with the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) and Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security (ICP).

  • Handling Emirates ID, medical testing, and visa stamping.

  • Managing family visas for dependents and domestic staff.

2. Labor and Employment Affairs

  • Registration and updates with the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MOHRE).

  • Preparing and submitting labor contracts and employee offer letters.

  • Managing work permit issuance, renewals, and cancellations.

  • Assisting with WPS (Wage Protection System) registration and labor inspection compliance.

3. Company Licensing and Commercial Registration

  • Initial company registration and trade license issuance.

  • Renewal and amendment of trade licenses (change of address, partners, or activities).

  • Approvals from municipal and economic departments.

  • Handling Chamber of Commerce certificates and industrial permits.

4. Document Attestation and Legalization

  • Attesting corporate and personal documents at government departments and embassies.

  • Translation and notarization of contracts and agreements.

  • Legalization of educational, corporate, and import/export documents.

5. Government Liaison and Compliance Management

  • Updating company records with new shareholders or directors.

  • Monitoring regulatory changes and advising companies on compliance updates.

  • Ensuring the company remains in good legal standing with all authorities.

💼 Why Businesses Need PRO Services

  • Time Efficiency: PRO firms handle the entire process — saving company management hours of administrative work.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Reduces risk of fines, visa cancellations, or delays due to missed deadlines.

  • Cost-Effective: Outsourcing PRO functions is cheaper than hiring a full-time in-house PRO.

  • Transparency: Professional PRO providers track and report every submission and renewal.

  • Business Continuity: Companies remain compliant and operational without disruption.


🧠 Types of PRO Services Packages

  • Corporate PRO Packages: For established companies requiring regular visa renewals, license updates, and compliance support.

  • Startup / Investor PRO Packages: For new investors setting up their business in free zones or mainland jurisdictions.

  • Employee PRO Management: Managing onboarding, renewals, and cancellations for staff.

  • Family / Dependent Visa PRO: For assisting company executives or employees with family visa processing.
