Document Legalisation and Mobility Support
Practical support for document review, attestation planning, translation questions and mobility checklists connected to employer-led Europe recruitment.
Direct answer
Document Legalisation and Mobility Support
Document legalisation support helps candidates identify which documents may need attestation, translation or authority review before a European recruitment step. VisAVis can help organise the checklist, but official attestation, visa and residence decisions remain with the responsible authorities.
Overview
Documents can slow down an otherwise strong recruitment process. Candidates may need education certificates, police clearances, civil documents, work references or trade records in a format that an employer or destination authority can review.
For UAE-issued documents, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs explains that attestation certifies signatures and seals and that the appropriate digital or courier route depends on document type and issuing authority. Destination countries may still require translations, embassy steps or additional checks.
VisAVis keeps document readiness connected to the recruitment process. The goal is not to over-process documents too early, but to identify likely gaps before candidates and employers reach a deadline.

FAQ
Common questions.
Does every document need attestation?
No. Requirements depend on document type, issuing authority, employer and destination country. Candidates should check the specific route before paying for services.
How long does UAE MOFA attestation take?
UAE MOFA states that eligible digital attestation for UAE-issued documents can be completed within two hours during official working hours, while courier-based attestation may take one to three business days depending on the courier route.
Can VisAVis decide whether a document will be accepted abroad?
No. VisAVis can help organise documents and identify gaps, but the receiving employer, authority or institution decides acceptance.
