UAE does not have a unified federal minimum wage law applicable to all sectors. Salaries are market-driven and vary significantly by industry, nationality, and skill level. However: 1) For UAE nationals, there are minimum salary requirements in the private sector (AED 3,000-5,000 depending on qualifications); 2) For expatriates, minimum salary thresholds exist for specific visa categories - professional visa requires at least AED 3,000 monthly, family sponsorship visa requires AED 4,000-10,000 depending on circumstances; 3) Some sectors like domestic workers have mandated minimums (typically AED 1,500-2,500); 4) Wage Protection System ensures timely payment but doesn't regulate minimum amounts. In practice, most full-time professional positions start at AED 4,000-5,000 monthly for entry-level roles, with skilled positions commanding significantly higher salaries.
