But my employment did not push through due to global crisis which affects the company that I applied for. Therefore all my processed documents are already been expired. But due to global finanacial crisis my employment did'nt push through.Therefore all my processed documents are already expired including my visa. I double checked the documents that my agency gave me I found out that it is an entry permit which expires for 2 months or 60days from the date of issuance. What it is the difference between an entry permit and a visa?Thus my agency was right on telling me that the entry that they gave to me was a visa?or it was an initial processed to be taken that lead to getting my visa as soon as I arrived at the Dubai Airport?

entry permit is a document which empowers your entry into the country. after entry, the visa has to be affixed on passport within a validity period of the entry permit, after fulfilling certain formalities such as medical check up. this is only a vague idea. not a professional advice

To enter the UAE on an employment visa entitles you to take employment in the UAE. Regarding the new visa rules, nobody is allowed to take employment being on a visit or tourist visa (many exemptions exist). Earlier it was possible to convert a visit visa into a residence visa by paying a fee for getting the right entry permit. This should not be possible no more, but..............it depends on your Nationality and job/profession/position. Anyway, if your current employment visa expired due to the current crisis, I hope it will be worked out. To answer your question: An employment visa is your entry permit to take employment in the UAE. After entering and working, your company will apply for your residence visa on your behalf.
