A Letter Of Intent For Permanent Position is commonly used in the UAE employment process as an intermediate step between initial candidate selection and the issuance of a formal employment contract. This document is particularly relevant when dealing with senior positions, expatriate hiring, or situations requiring visa arrangements. It provides a framework for both parties to proceed with confidence while necessary documentation and procedures are completed. The document must align with UAE Labor Law requirements and typically includes essential employment terms, conditions precedent, and next steps in the hiring process. While not legally binding to the same extent as an employment contract, it creates a professional understanding between parties and often serves as a reference point for the final employment agreement.
