Can Indians and Other Foreign Workers Apply?

Yes. KFC UAE employs a large expatriate workforce, including many staff from India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Africa. Americana sometimes recruits from abroad and also hires candidates already living in the UAE.

An offer letter does not mean you have a visa. After selection, the employer applies for your MOHRE work permit and UAE residence visa; never assume sponsorship before a written offer. UAE Labour Law prohibits charging workers recruitment fees. Emiratisation targets mainly affect corporate and office jobs rather than restaurant crew.
