    The Registration Authority of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) has issued an advisory reminding all ADGM-registered entities to comply with the ADGM Employment Regulations (2019) and the Temporary Work Permit Rules (2024). As per these regulations, effective from 01st September 2024, all entities registered with ADGM must obtain and maintain valid Work Permits and Temporary Work Permits for every individual working within ADGM jurisdiction.

    Entities that fail to secure or renew the necessary ADGM Work Permits or Temporary Work Permits for individuals working on their premises, will be considered in a violation of the regulations and rules and may face a fine.

    The ADGM’s Registration Authority (RA) also warned that late filing penalties may be imposed on non-compliant entities.

    As the sole authority responsible for issuing Work Permits and Temporary Work Permits within ADGM, the RA reserves the right to initiate enforcement actions for non-compliance without further notice.

    ADGM-registered entities can submit applications for ADGM Work Permits and Temporary Work Permits through the ACCESSADGM portal. For additional resources:
