Hi Hina,
Please make sure that you are legally authorized to work on Upwork in the country you are situated in and pay taxes accordingly. You may have to consult with a legal advisor about any necessary permits and how to properly report your income.
Thank you!

Hina:
Upwork does not require to have any particular license.
Upwork only asks that you obey locally applicable laws. Some places and/or some professions may require you to have a license. Others do not. Upwork does not make those requirements, and Upwork does not provide specific instructions about that. You would need to check with local authorities and experts.

Hi Hina, I just saw your post, I am in the same situation now. Did you find a solution you could share?
I am in AD, and under my husband's sponsorship as well.
Thank you!

@Hina / Tatiana,
In UAE, a residency visa sponsored by a spouse allows you to work full time without a work permit.
You just need the written permission of your Husband / Wife that states you are allowed to work. Should not be a problem for you both to withdraw funds.

Search on google for Dubai freelancer permit (Dubai Development Authority). You already have a residency visa, you don't need to apply for the whole package.

Is this the freelancer permit you talk about?

Which then takes me to GoFreelance
Also, how hard is to open a business bank account (under individual's name) with such permit?

Hi,
Do I still need a freelance permit if I am working for a foreign firm as a full-time contract employee outside upwork? I already have an employement visa of a UAE company. Would it be a an issue if my employer wires my salary to my UAE bank without me having a freelance permit?

Hi hina, im also living here in Al Ain, AD, i just read your question after 2 years while searching for Upwork in UAE. But my question is that did u got your payments withdrawn? They are asking to provide a TIN (tax identification number) to withdraw, so i searched everywhere and the UAE does not give TIN, so can we withdraw funds without that, please must reply waiting for your response.
