What UAE law says about Emirates ID Cost?
Well to be honest there is no ministerial order or any sort record or policy regarding cost of Emirates ID so far but in Article 6 (a) of ministerial order no. 52 of 1989 regarding the rules and procedures to be adopted at the Labour permit sections with respect to the recruitment (hiring) of non-national employees (workers) for employment in the United Arab Emirates states:
"An undertaking from the employer to the effect that he shall sponsor and be responsible for the recruited employee, the bearing of his recruitment expenses and his employment in accordance with the employment contract in a away not prejudicing the provision of the federal no. 8/1980 referred to herein."
So, as per the interpretation of the above ministerial order may require the employer (company) to bear the cost (fee) of the issuance or renewal of the UAE Resident ID as part of the recruitment expenses borne by the company (employer).
