PRO Services

What is PRO Services?

PRO (Public Relations Officer) services in Dubai act as a bridge between your company and UAE government authorities. A PRO ensures that every government-related procedure—whether it’s a trade licence, visa, labour card, or document attestation is handled efficiently and in full compliance with UAE law.

At DSA, our PRO specialists manage:

  • Trade licence applications, amendments, and renewals
  • Visa and immigration processes for employees, partners, and dependents
  • Labour card issuance and e-signature management
  • Document translation, attestation, and notarisation
  • Coordination with DED, GDRFA, MOHRE, MOFA, RTA, DEWA, and other key government bodies

By delegating your PRO requirements to DSA, you ensure that your operations remain smooth, compliant, and penalty-free.
