Site workers usually also receive company accommodation and transport, and overtime can add to monthly earnings. Rupee values use about ₹24 per AED and change with exchange rates.

Can Indians and Other Foreign Workers Apply?

Yes. UAE construction relies heavily on tradesmen from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Philippines. Large contractors like ALEC often hold trade tests in source countries with the help of licensed recruitment agencies. After selection, the employer applies for the MOHRE work permit and arranges your entry permit, medical, residence visa and Emirates ID. A job offer is not a visa.

Indian workers going to the UAE in ECR categories need emigration clearance through the eMigrate system, which a licensed agent or employer process should handle. Never assume sponsorship until you have a proper offer and contract, and remember that UAE law bans charging workers recruitment fees.
