Nafis Salary Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how Emirati nationals working in the private sector can receive monthly salary top-ups through the Nafis program.

This scheme provides financial assistance to Emirati citizens employed in the private sector to help bridge the pay gap between private and public sector roles.

Who it's for

This program is designed specifically for Emirati nationals who are currently working within private sector companies.

What you get

If you qualify, you receive a monthly salary top-up. This extra payment is intended to supplement your existing income, helping to align your private sector earnings more closely with what is typically offered in the public sector.

What it costs you

There is no direct cost to you to receive this support. However, the scheme requires your employer to actively participate in the Nafis program for you to receive the benefit.

The catch to know

The most important thing to check is your company's registration status. Your employer must be officially registered with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation for the support to be available to you.

How to apply

  1. Check that your employer is registered with the required ministry.
  2. Confirm your eligibility as an Emirati working in the private sector.
  3. Visit the official portal to start your application.
