Who Can Apply for the Assistance
The program is for OFWs affected by the ongoing Middle East crisis. This includes workers who lost jobs, had reduced income, or experienced work disruption.
However, not everyone can apply again. If you already received financial assistance during the crisis, you are no longer eligible for the new batches.

Applicants must prepare the following documents:
- Request for Assistance (RFA) form
- Passport bio page
- Emirates ID
- Proof of overseas employment
- Proof of work disruption
DMW reminds applicants to submit only once. Multiple applications will lead to automatic disapproval.

How Much Aid You Will Receive
Qualified applicants will receive a one-time financial assistance of USD 200, or around AED 730.
