What Do I Bring?

A Checklist of Important Documents for Abu Dhabi Employees

Make sure you send the requested documents as soon as possible to ZU – HR. These are essential for visa and immigration processing. Email scanned versions immediately. Attesting documents can take some time – so start the process early. Carry all important documents with you in your carry-on luggage and bring those indicated with you to the first day of Orientation. They are required for the formalities of contract signing, residence visa applications, etc. We’ve also suggested additional important documents to bring with you to assist in school registration, driver’s license application, etc.
