New UAE visa rules to come into effect in September

Changes in entry and residency regulations for foreigners were announced on Monday

Dubai: The new entry and residency scheme for foreigners in UAE will be active as of September this year.

The UAE cabinet, headed by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has approved the executive regulations of the Federal Decree-Law on Entry and Residence of Foreigners aimed at strengthening the UAE position as an ideal destination to live, work and invest.

• UAE announces new entry and residency rules

The new visa rules were announced yesterday.

Ali Mohammad Al Shamsi, Chairman of the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security, said the new executive regulations provide comprehensive information on the types and conditions of entry visas and residence permits.

“The new rules will support sustainable development and the economic diversity policy in the country by attracting skilled workers, talents, professionals, specialists and experts,” said Al Shamsi.

The new model, in some cases, allows people who enter as visitors to stay for 60 days rather than 30 days at present.

Parents can sponsor their male children until the age of 25, up from 18, allowing them to remain in the UAE after school and university.

Al Shamsi said the new rules have different residencies and new categories to attract investors, entrepreneurs, high skilled workers, outstanding students, frontliners and others.

“The new scheme will ease procedures, adding new advantages and end the link between residency and the work sponsor and enhance quality of life,” he added.

Al Shamsi said the new system will have a new generation of residencies in the country like the green visa that will provide five years of residency for skilled employees, without a sponsor or employer.

The green visa allows the holder to bring his or her family members as well as six months grace period after the residency expires or is canceled.

The green residency has three types. The first is for skilled workers, while the second is for freelancers and self-employed individuals. The third is for investors to establish or participate in commercial activities. It replaces the previous residence that was valid for two years only.

“The cabinet was keen to enhance family stability for residents and the new rules add new benefits for family members. Children of determination are granted a residence permit, regardless of their age,” Al Shamsi added.

He said Green Residency holders can bring their first-degree relatives into the country too.

The new model offers new options for visitors to have different, flexible and multi-entry of visit visas for up to one year and ends the need for arrivals to acquire sponsorship. The visit visa offers 60 days of validity and one platform to apply at.

The job exploration visa has been introduced with the aim of attracting young talents and skilled professionals to explore job opportunities. It does not require a sponsor or a host.

Another visa for investors is the exploration visa to explore investment opportunities inside the UAE. It does not require a sponsor or host.

Golden visa categories

Substantial amendments have been introduced to the Golden Residence Scheme to simplify the eligibility criteria and expand the categories of beneficiaries. This long-term 10-year residency is granted to investors, entrepreneurs, exceptional talents, scientists and professionals, outstanding students and graduates, humanitarian pioneers and frontline heroes.

According to the new rules, there will be no restriction related to the maximum duration of stay outside the UAE in order to keep the Golden Residence valid.

The amendments allow the Golden Residence holder to sponsor his/her family members, including spouse and children, regardless of their age, and to sponsor support services (domestic) laborers without limiting their number. If the holder of the Golden Residence dies, then his family members can stay in the UAE until the end of their permit duration.

Golden residency for scientists

The new rules aim to support and boost investment in the property sector by having new benefits in the Golden Residence for investors in this vital sector.

People are entitled to obtain the Golden Residence when purchasing a property worth no less than Dh2 million with a loan from specific local banks. Investors can also obtain Golden Residence when buying one or more off-plan properties of no less than Dh2 million from approved local real estate companies.

Residency is granted to scientists and researchers with high achievements and influence in their field based on recommendation from the Emirates Scientists Council.

The candidate should have a Ph.D. or master’s degree in the disciplines of engineering, technology, life sciences and natural sciences from the best universities in the world. The candidate should have substantial research achievements.

Golden residency for professionals

A major expansion has been introduced in this category to attract highly skilled workers with educational qualifications and professional experience in all disciplines including medicine, sciences and engineering, information technology, business and administration, education, law, culture and social sciences.

The applicants should have a valid employment contract in the UAE, and should be classified in the first or second occupational level as per the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation classification which is aligned with the International Standard of Classification of Occupations ISCO by the International Labour Organisation.

The minimum educational level must be a bachelor’s degree or equivalent, and the monthly salary should not be less than Dh30,000.

Golden residency for exceptional talents

This residence is granted to top talents in vital fields. It is awarded based on talent only, regardless of the educational qualification or the employment status or the monthly salary or professional level.

It requires the recommendation or approval of a federal or local government entity, and includes talented individuals in culture, art, sports, digital technology, invention and innovation and other vital fields.

Golden residency for entrepreneurs

The executive regulations set flexible requirements for entrepreneurs eligible to obtain the Golden Residence; an entrepreneur should own or be a partner in a startup registered in the country in the category of small and medium enterprises SME and generates annual revenues of not less than Dh1 million.

In addition, obtaining approval for a startup idea from an official business incubator or from the Ministry of Economy or the competent local authorities is sufficient to obtain the Golden Residence in this category.

Moreover, if the person is a founder (or one of the founders) of a previous entrepreneurial project (projects) that was sold with a total value of not less than Dh7 million, he will be entitled to Golden Residence. The approval of the Ministry of Economy or the competent local authorities is required for projects or ideas.

Golden visa for outstanding students and graduates

This residency targets high performing students in UAE secondary schools, and outstanding graduates from UAE universities and the best 100 universities worldwide according to specific criteria that includes their academic performance (cumulative average), the year of graduation, and the university classification.

New UAE Visa Rules

Written By Arabiers Digital & Reviewed by Robeena Brown

04 July 2024 | 13 min read

Since the introduction of the advanced visa system, which came into effect in October 2022 by the UAE government, several changes have been made to the visa rules.

These recent reforms are among the UAE's major residency and entry permit reforms introduced by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP).

The new system has led to major changes in the  uae visit visa rules  system and introduced new UAE visa rules. In this guide, we will enlist all changes which have taken place since October 2022 to the latest increase in fees to issue Emirates ID, visit, and residency visas in the UAE.

Table of Contents

Icp fee increase, 5-year multiple entry visa.

• Dubai Out Pass or Leave Permit

Standardization of Overstay Fine Fee

60 days visas resumed.

• UAE Entry Permit’s to Visit Relatives or Friend

UAE Visa Stamping

Uae visit visa extension, golden visa.

In its latest announcement, the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP) hiked the price of all services by AED 100. According to the new rules, the increase is applied to all services rendered byICP, such as issuing Emirates IDs, visit visas, and residence visas.

After getting the visa, you can enter UAE multiple times on self-sponsorship. The visa allows you to stay for 90 days whenever you enter the country. After the visa expires and you want to stay more days, you can extend the visa for 90 days. It is the ideal visa for people with a loved one living in UAE because you get enough time to spend with loved ones.

When applying for this  5-year multiple entry visa,  some of the documents required include a bank statement covering the previous six months with a balance of $4,000 or its equivalent in foreign currencies, proof of UAE health insurance, a copy of the applicant's flight ticket, and proof of residence in the form of an invitation letter from friends or family members residing in the UAE.

Dubai Exit or Leave Permit

When you stay more than the days allowed by your UAE visa, you will be considered overstaying.

If you are exiting UAE via Dubai you must apply for an exit or leave permit to fly out of the country.

Please note that the exit permit is only required when exiting UAE through Dubai. The other Emirates don't require you have an exit pass when flying out.

You can get the Dubai exit permit at the immigration counter in the airport or land borders. You can also get the leave permit through the Al Awir Immigration office. The cost of this exit permit is approximately 200 AED to 300 AED.

If you stay longer than the duration permitted by your UAE visa you are overstaying your UAE visa and you will be charged with overstaying fines. The UAE ICP recently announced the standardization of all overstaying fines to 50 AED per day of overstaying.

The overstaying fines add up after your grace period(depending on the visa you hold) has been used up. Please note that you won't be considered overstaying if you can't exit the country because of flight cancellations or airport closures.

On October 3rd, 2022, the ICP introduced the  60 days visit visa  after implementing the new reforms. The visa allows holidaymakers to stay more days in UAE for up to 2 months.

UAE Entry Permit to Visit Relatives or Friend

If you have a relative or friend who is a UAE citizen or resident, you qualify to apply for the UAE entry permit to visit a friend or relative. You don't need to go through a travel agency or have a sponsor to be eligible to apply for the permit.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) government discontinued stamping resident visas into passports in preference of issuing Emirates ID cards. As a result, it will no longer be necessary to collect passports before stamping them, and citizens of the UAE will now be able to submit a single application to obtain their Emirates ID and residency visa. This change will simplify the application process and reduce the time required.

The UAE Immigration departments in all Emirates have discontinued  extending visiting visas  without having to exit the country. Instead, the visit visa holders are required to exit the country, apply for an extension, and, once approved, enter the country again.

The option to extend your visa in UAE is Airport to airport services, where you book a flight through a travel agency like Arabiers to the nearest Middle East country like Oman and wait a few hours at the airport for the visa extension application to be processed. After the extension is approved, you enter with the new visa and book a flight back to UAE.

The United Arab Emirates has recently broadened the categories of the  Golden Visa  and made considerable adjustments to the Golden Residence Scheme to ease the eligibility requirements and expand the categories of those eligible to benefit from the program.

The validity of this visa has been expanded to ten years across the types of Golden Visa categories. The categories of persons who qualify for the UAE Golden visa are business investors, business entrepreneurs, extraordinary talents, scientific researchers, outstanding students and graduates, and talented workers.

Under the new regulations, those awarded the Golden Residence can sponsor their immediate family members, regardless of the ages of their children and spouses. In addition, no restriction is placed on the total number of workers sponsored under domestic support services.

The Golden visa holders and the members of their families are now granted 6 months grace period, which is an increase for the earlier 3 months after the visa expires or is canceled.

During the 6 months grace period, you can either exit the country or change your status to qualify for another type of resident visa.

The UAE Cabinet, led by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum , the UAE Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai announced on Monday a set of administrative regulations to attract and preserve accomplished and skilled individuals in the country.

The new visa scheme is in its initial stages

As previously announced by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Ports Security this week, the new rules are just beginning to be implemented, and will only be launched officially in a month. During the press briefing, the officials also said the introduction of the new UAE passport is also just in its preliminary phase and will be launched on October 3.

Earlier this year in April, the country also announced drastic changes to the UAE visa system, making it easier for both residents and visitors alike to enter the country. The changes were approved by the Vice President and Ruler of Dubai and state that the simplified strategy of 10 types of visas is a “step that supports the country’s competitiveness in the tourism, economic and educational sectors,” according to a tweet from the UAE government.

New visas for visitors

Once the new rules are thoroughly set in place, the tourist visas will be valid for 60 days, as opposed to their current validity of 30 days. A five-year, multi-entry tourist visa has also been announced and allows visitors to stay up to 90 continuous days in the UAE , although they are not allowed to go more than 180 days in a year.

2023 New Visa Rules In UAE

If you have any questions or want to invest as an expat or high-net-worth individual, you can email me ([email protected]) or use  these  contact options.

This article is not formal advice, and is here for informational and educational purposes only. The facts might have also changed since we wrote it.

Those seeking formal advice should contact government agencies directly.

Introduction

New visa rules in UAE have been made by the UAE government.

The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) has implemented some of the biggest residence and entrance permit reforms in the UAE.

UAE’s visit visa system has undergone significant change as a result of the new system, which also brought forth new UAE visa regulations.

In this guide, we’ll cover all of the adjustments that have been made, starting with the October 2022 increase in costs for Emirates IDs and visas for visits and residence in the UAE , up to the most recent revision.

New Visa Rules In UAE

1. new uae visit visa extension rule.

The UAE Immigration agencies in all Emirates have stopped extending visiting visas without requiring visitors to leave the country . Instead, visitors must leave the nation, seek an extension, and then re-enter.

Airport-to-airport services are one way to extend your visa in the UAE.

To use this service, book a flight through a travel company like Arabiers to the closest Middle Eastern nation, such as Oman, and then wait a few hours at the airport while your visa extension application is processed.

You enter the visa after the extension has been authorized, and then you arrange a ticket back to the UAE.

2. New UAE Visa Stamping Rule

The government of the UAE (UAE) has stopped stamping resident visas on passports in favour of providing Emirates ID cards.

Because of this, it won’t be necessary to gather passports before stamping them, and UAE nationals may now submit a single application to get their Emirates ID and residency visa .

The application procedure will be made simpler and take lesser time thanks to this new rule.

3. New UAE Visit Visa Overstay Rule

You are regarded to have overstayed in the UAE if you stay longer than the number of days permitted by the visa you used to enter the country , and you will be subject to overstaying penalty.

If you wish to leave the nation through Dubai, you must obtain an outpass or departure permission in order to do so.

It’s vital to keep in mind that the outpass is only necessary when leaving the UAE through Dubai; other emirates don’t require you to get it.

At the airport and at the immigration offices at the land borders, you can obtain a Dubai/UAE exit permit. Alternatively, the Al Awir Immigration office is where the outpass or departure permit may be acquired. This outpass costs between AED 200 and 300.

4. Standardization of UAE Visa Overstay Fine

ICP has announced that the overstaying penalty will be standardized at AED 50 per day of overstay.

After you’ve used up the grace period provided after the visa you used to enter the UAE expires, the overstaying fines begin to mount.

If you are unable to depart the nation on time due to airport closures or aircraft disruptions, you won’t be penalized for remaining longer than permitted.

5. New UAE ICP Visa Services Fee

The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP) recently announced an increase in all service fees of AED 100.

The increase was mandated by the new regulations and applied to all services provided by ICP, including the issuance of Emirates IDs, visit visas, and residency permits.

6. New UAE 5-Year Multiple Entry Visa

You can enter the UAE on self-sponsorship many times after receiving the visa. When you enter the nation, the visa enables you to stay for 90 days.

If your visa expires and you wish to remain longer, you can renew it for 90 days. It is the best visa for individuals who have a loved one in the UAE since you have adequate time to spend with them.

The following are some of the documents needed when applying for this 5-year visa with multiple entries:

• A bank statement for the last six months that shows a balance of $4,000 or the equivalent in other currencies
• Proof of health insurance in the UAE
• A copy of the applicant’s flight ticket in copy form, and
• A letter of invitation, serving as proof of residency, from friends or family members who live in the UAE

7. Resumption of UAE 60-Day Visa

Following the implementation of the new changes, the ICP resumed the 60-day travel visa on October 3rd, 2022. Tourists are permitted to stay in the UAE for up to two months.

8. New UAE Entry Permits to Visit Family or Friends in the UAE

You are eligible to apply for a UAE entry permit to visit a friend or family if they are a UAE citizen or resident . No travel agency, sponsor, host, or other intermediaries will be required in order for you to obtain permission.

9. New UAE Golden Visa Rules

To make the qualifying requirements simpler and increase the categories of beneficiaries, the UAE has recently enlarged the Golden Visa categories and made significant changes to the Golden Residence Scheme .

For all categories of Golden Visa , the validity period has been extended to 10 years. The Golden Visa is now valid for 10 years and grants the bearer the ability to reside and work in the Emirate for ten years.

Investors, business owners, remarkable talent, scientists, great students and recent graduates, and skilled employees will all be eligible for the long-term, 10-year Golden residency.

According to the new regulations, owners of Golden Residences may sponsor any member of their family, including wives and kids, regardless of the person’s age.

Additionally, they are allowed to sponsor an unlimited number of domestic workers who provide support services.

The grace period following the expiration or revocation of a resident visa in the UAE for expats has been increased from 30 days to 6 months, according to information acquired on the ICP system by typing centre agents.

As a result, foreign nationals have six months to leave the country or change their status and obtain a new residence visa . During the grace period, fines are not applicable.

However, if the bearer of a Golden visa neglects to renew or cancel the dependents’ visas, the dependents may be required to pay an overstay fine.

Recently, the UAE launched a brand-new tool in the shape of an online test that can quickly and accurately determine if prospective candidates are qualified for the Golden visa .

The UAE recently debuted a new tool that determines if prospective candidates are in fact qualified for the Golden visa in only two minutes. The tool is in the form of an online quiz which you can access here .

Visitors overstaying in the UAE must pay fines for the number of extra days after visa expiry and need to obtain an out pass or leave permit at the airports or the immigration office at the land borders.

A customer service representative at the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) Dubai confirmed that anyone overstaying in the country should obtain an outpass or leave permit at the airport or immigration offices at the land borders.

This permit can also be obtained at the Al Awir Immigration office. An overstaying visitor should also pay fines for the number of days they extended their stay in the country.

According to travel industry experts, this process started a few days ago. Many of their clients who overstayed in the country had to acquire the permit by paying Dh200 to Dh300 before exiting.

Mir Wasim Raja, manager of MICE & Holidays at Galadari International Travel Services, said, “An outpass or leave permit is required for those visitors who continue to reside in the country after visa expiry or after the grace period offered by the emirates.”

According to a travel industry expert, Dubai visit visa holders get a grace period of 10 days from the date of visa expiry

Ranjit Routray, an Indian national, was on a two-month visit to the UAE but had to extend his stay for two days due to personal engagements. His brother-in-law, Jubin, had cleared his overstay fine online. “But when we were at the immigration, I was asked to pay the ‘leave permit’ for overstaying in the country and pay Dh240 fine,” said Jubin.

Many other visitors have been obtaining a leave permit for overstaying and exiting the country. “Without our knowledge, a few of our clients overstayed their specified period of stay on their visa. When their visa expired, they contacted us to pay the overstay fines. But they did not know the out pass or leave permit,” said Deepak Kaushik, marketing manager Rooh Travel and Tourism.

“At the airport and land borders, they had to pay for the number of days overstayed and for leave permit,” added Kaushik.

Robin Pathrose, sales manager at Kingsland Travel and Tourism LLC, said that once an outpass is obtained, the visitor must exit the country. “One of my clients arrived in the UAE on a visit visa and managed to secure a job here. He was already overstaying in the country and had even applied for a leave permit at the Al Awir Immigration centre, which he forgot about,” said Pathrose.

“His employer applied for the work permit and permanent residency status as much as four times. But it was not approved by the authorities. When we inquired about the reason for rejection, we were told that he must exit the country as the leave permit has been issued against his name,” said Pathrose.

New Visa Rules in UAE 2023: Entry and Residence Permits

Last Updated - January 23rd, 2024

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has just announced major revisions to its immigration requirements that will take effect in 2023. Many foreigners and long-term residents might be affected by the new rules. As a result of the new visa regulations, travelling to, residing in, and working in the nation should be much more convenient. This article will help you through the new visa rules in UAE 2023, whether you’re a tourist, a student, or a skilled worker looking for a job.

Table of Contents

UAE New Visa Regulations 2023

The Federal Decree-Law on Foreign Entrance and Residency was recently authorised by the UAE Cabinet’s executive rules. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has implemented a new immigration and residency policy in an effort to recruit and keep talented people from all over the world. The purpose of the revised entrance and visa policies is to facilitate travel to and within the United Arab Emirates and increase the country’s appeal to visitors. Also, visitors visiting the UAE have a lot of leeway in terms of extending their stay. Furthermore, the ICA now offers a service for providing visas to family groups travelling to the UAE for vacation, medical care, or to accompany a patient for a stay of 60 or 180 days.

New Rules for UAE Visa Stamping 2023

The United Arab Emirates government has recently stated that it would no longer need the stamping of resident visas in passports. In order to increase tourism and facilitate visa applications for UAE citizens, the new regulation will go into effect in January 2023. United Arab Emirates nationals may now apply for both their Emirates ID and residence visa in a single step under the new regulations. The new procedure is meant to streamline the application and cut down on wait times. The government has increased the cost of visas and Emirates IDs by AED 100, in addition to instituting a new smart service charge.

Visa Extension New Rules 2023

Travellers with 90-day visit visas may now extend their stay in Dubai and the rest of the UAE for an extra 30 days on a one-time basis thanks to visit visa extension rules introduced by the ICP, the UAE Federal Authority for Identification, Nationality, Customs and Ports Security. Visa extensions may be granted for up to 90 days, which is in addition to the visa’s initial entrance validity term of 30 days. Thus, it is not possible to renew tourist visas while in the United Arab Emirates. Anybody currently in the UAE on a visit visa who wishes to prolong their stay must leave the country and reapply for a visa extension upon their return.

Please note : While there has been no official announcement of the new visa extension rule by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Ports Security (ICP); it has been reported that requests for extensions of stay made while still in the country are recently being refused.

Visit Visa Overstay UAE New Rules 2023

When a visitor’s visa expires in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), they must depart the country with an outpass or leaving permission. If you need an exit visa or outpass from Dubai or the United Arab Emirates, you may get one at the airport, at land borders, or at the Al Awir Immigration office. Prices for the same range from 200 to 300 AED. Anybody who overstays their visa will be subject to a fine of AED 50 per day. With the new visit visa rules in UAE, visitors to the United Arab Emirates will have an extra 10 days to leave the country after their visa expires. On the other hand, they will be responsible for the overstay fees if their stay exceeds 10 days. It is important to note that cancelled flights and closed airports will not incur an overstay fee.

New Rules for UAE Visit Visa Price 2023

With the new 2023 Visa rules, Visa fees have doubled, which is the most notable difference. This includes tourist visas for 30 and 60 days in the United Arab Emirates and Dubai, which each cost AED 100 more than they did before. Additionally, the ICA’S charge for a visitor visa valid for a single month has increased from AED 270 to AED 370.

Unused UAE Visit Visa New Rules 2023

If a visitor to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) cannot enter the country within a certain amount of time after receiving a visit visa, the visitor must revoke the visa. Cancelling a visa after it has already been issued may cost as much as AED 300, which varies widely by the travel agency.

Rules for Golden Visa 2023

The golden new visa rules in UAE 2023 allow qualifying individuals to live and work in the Emirate for an impressive 10 years, which is a substantial increase from the previous duration. Investors, entrepreneurs, skilled workers, scientists, exceptional students and graduates, and individuals with outstanding abilities are all among those who may benefit from the new regulations. In addition, Golden Residence holders can now sponsor their spouses and children of any age and even support service labourers, with no limit on the number of sponsorships. But that’s not all; the UAE has also extended the grace period for Golden Visa holders and their families, so there’s no need to worry if your residence visa expires or is cancelled. You now have 6 more months to make the necessary arrangements.

Green Residence 2023

The UAE is launching a new 5-year residency program for the UAE Green Visa, aimed primarily at attracting skilled professionals, talented individuals, freelancers, investors, and entrepreneurs from around the world. The requirements for each residence type have been simplified, with more benefits than before. 

Family Members Now Have New Benefits

The United Arab Emirates has announced new perks for the families of Golden Visa holders. Those who have these visas are now eligible to apply for a waiver of the deposit normally necessary to sponsor a parent for a 10-year stay. In addition, residents may easily sponsor five-year residences for first-degree relatives, allowing them to bring their spouses and kids to the United Arab Emirates. For Green visa holders and their families, the leave grace period following a resident visa cancellation has been increased to 6 months. Overstay fees may be assessed on a dependent’s visa if the green visa holder fails to renew or cancel that visa. The holder of a Green Residence may also sponsor his immediate family members, and their stays in the country will be granted for the same number of years as the holders.

Children of Emirati Women: Five-Year Residency Visas

Children born to Emirati women who marry foreign nationals can now have their residence visas extended to five years from the previous three years under a new UAE policy. For many kids whose families have been living in the UAE on tourist visas, this instruction represents a huge step forward since it guarantees their stability.  These kids will be able to remain in the UAE for five years with their families, go to school, get medical treatment, and work if they want, thanks to the new resident visas.

Visa Rules 2023 for Entry

The UAE has created roughly 10 categories of entrance visas that do not need a host or sponsor. These visas may be used for either a single entry or repeated entries, and they are valid for a total of 60 days beginning on the day of issue. Additionally, visa restrictions have been loosened, enabling travellers to choose the visa that works best for them. Anybody who wants to extend their stay may do so by renewing their visa for the same amount of time.

Job Exploration Visa

The new Work Exploration Visa has been established to make it easier for foreigners to explore and experiment with work opportunities in the United Arab Emirates. As a host or sponsor is not required, anybody may apply for the visa regardless of age or profession.

The Job Exploration Visa has the following prerequisites:

• Having a first, second, or third-tier skill set, as determined by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation
• Being a recent graduate of one of the top 500 colleges worldwide
• Having at least a bachelor’s degree, or its equivalent, in education.

Business Entry Visa

The UAE has created the Business Entry Visa as part of its new visa requirements for 2023 in order to attract investors and entrepreneurs who are interested in learning more about the country’s commercial and investment opportunities. As a result of this, visitors no longer require a sponsor or host in order to enter the country.

Multi-Entry Tourist Visa

Tourists visiting the United Arab Emirates may now get a visa that allows multiple entries over the course of five years. A visitor with this visa may enter the country numerous times without a sponsor and stay for up to 90 days at a time. To apply for this visa, you need to have at least $4,000 (AED 14,700) in your account, or its foreign currency equivalent, for the previous six (6) months before submitting your application.

Family Visa

Parents will have an easier time bringing their children to the UAE under the new visa requirements. Families may apply for sponsorship for their children who are minors up to age 18, and for male children, up to age 25. With a special visa, parents may petition for their disabled children to join them in the country. Sponsorship for female children who have not yet married may continue indefinitely.

Entry Permit to Visit Relatives and Friends

A sponsor or host is not required for a tourist visa to the United Arab Emirates. This entrance visa is for family members of UAE citizens or permanent residents.

Entry Permit for a Temporary Work Mission

A work visa may be requested by anybody who will be entering the UAE on an official business trip. This visa is restricted to those who already have close relatives or friends who are UAE nationals or permanent residents.

Visitors need the following in order to be granted entrance for a brief labour mission:

• A short-term employment agreement
• An explanation of the visit’s objective in writing from the employer
• Physical and mental fitness documentation

Entry Permit for Study and Training

The new UAE visa regulations 2023 include an entrance permit for study and training, which is aimed particularly at students and trainees in the nation to take advantage of the many educational opportunities and internships available. Sponsors for this visa type include governmental or commercial entities, as well as UAE-licensed academic and scientific institutions. A letter from the organisation detailing the study, training, or internship program’s specifics are required in order to apply for a visa.

Residence Permit for Humanitarian Cases

Individuals with special humanitarian situations will be eligible for residence permits under the revised visa requirements in 2023. Citizens of the UAE with foreign passports may now apply for residency permits for their parents or children, as can residents of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states with international passports for their spouses and children.

Dubai & UAE Re-Entry Permit

Anyone who leaves the UAE for more than six months would now have to apply for re-entry permission. Residents of the UAE who have been away from the country for more than six months will be able to return within 30 days after the re-entry permit’s acceptance.

Even if a resident of the UAE travels outside the country for more than 6 months, their residence visa will not be revoked. The re-entry permit is only available to citizens who have a valid cause for being abroad for more than six months and can present evidence supporting that reason. You may submit your application for a re-entry visa on the website of the Federal Authority for Identification, Citizenship, Customs, and Ports Security (ICP).

UAE Entry Permit Extension

Depending on the reason for the visit and other considerations, visitors to the United Arab Emirates may be eligible to have their initial entrance permits extended for up to 90 days. A valid passport (with at least six months remaining on its expiration date) is required, and the appropriate travel agency should apply for tourist entrance permits on your behalf. If the criteria are satisfied, the entrance permit may be extended within as short as 48 hours.

To apply for a visa extension, applicants must first sign up for the ICP Smart Service system and establish an account. After signing up, applicants will be able to access the application form and costs. An additional 30 days may be added for AED 610 ($166.07) each time, but only for those who aren’t citizens of the Gulf Cooperation Council states. Residents of the GCC are required to pay AED 260 (USD 70.78) and provide a passport copy when applying for a 30-day extension.

Permits for medical treatment, accompanying family members of GCC residents, and students may all be extended for up to an additional month. Additionally, the time for which a visitor is allowed to remain in the country on a visit visa will be determined by the visitor’s intended activities and the discretion of the relevant authorities, although it cannot be more than one year.

The new visa rules in UAE 2023 are set to have a significant impact on visitors and expatriates in the country. With the aim of making it easier for people to visit, live and work in the UAE, these new regulations represent an important step towards attracting more foreign talent and boosting the country’s economy. It is vital to stay informed about these changes and how they may affect your plans. By keeping up-to-date with the latest developments of new visa rules in UAE 2023, you can ensure that you make the most of the opportunities available in this exciting and dynamic country.

Pakistan-UAE travel: Those violating visit visa conditions will be stopped at Pakistani airport, warns official

P akistani citizens coming to the UAE on a visit visa will be inspected at the airports in Pakistan and stopped at the airport if they don’t meet certain requirements such as hotel stay, enough funds and return tickets, a senior official said on Wednesday.

Travel industry executives said tourists coming to the UAE from Pakistan and other countries on a visit visa need to have Dh3,000 funds, and hotel accommodation or proof of residence with a family member. Those who fail to meet these criteria are refused entry into the country and sent back to their home countries.

While speaking during Pakistan’s 77th Independence Day celebration in Dubai, Hussain Muhammad, consul-general of Pakistan for Dubai and Northern Emirates, at the Pakistan Consulate in Dubai, urged all to obey and respect the local laws and traditions of the host country and contribute positively to the society.

He stressed that the laws are strictly implemented in the UAE and violators will face fines and imprisonment for violations.

“Every Pakistani is a representative of the country. People come to the UAE on visit visas, but some don’t meet visit visa requirements… We highlighted the visa issue and FIA (Federal Investigation Authority) and airport authorities in Pakistan are working on it. Those who don’t meet the requirement will be stopped over there (at the airport),” Muhammad told Khaleej Times in an interview on Wednesday.

Earlier, Pakistan’s ambassador to the UAE Faisal Niaz Tirmizi also advised Pakistanis when visiting the UAE on a tourist visa.

“Pakistanis coming to the UAE on a visit visa should have a return ticket, Dh3,000 funds and hotel accommodation. When you’re on a tourist visa, you must do only tourism as there are plenty of opportunities for tourism such as museums, mosques, malls etc. Don’t try to find jobs while you’re on a tourist visa. Those who are looking for jobs should come to the UAE on an employment visa,” Tirmizi had told Khaleej Times in an interview.

Pakistani media earlier reported that some GCC countries have raised concerns about the South Asian country’s community performance related to their work and adherence to laws.

The UAE has been one of the top destinations for Pakistanis looking for greener pastures. In 2023-24, over 230,000 Pakistanis migrated to the UAE, the second largest country after Saudi Arabia.

Consul-general Hussain Muhammad advised to be cautious when sharing social media posts as they may not comply with the local laws and cultures.

“In the UAE, rules are strictly monitored and implemented. There are no exceptions here... In addition, social media is also strictly monitored to ensure peace and security of the country. Sometimes people share emails and social media posts (which are not compliant with local laws). Don’t share any social media posts which are fake and not reliable,” Muhammad advised his countrymen.

“The UAE has provided us with opportunities, so we all need to respect local laws, culture and live a disciplined life according to regulations,” he added.

Salaries can be paid in cryptocurrency, Dubai court rules

The decision reinforces the importance of clear contractual terms, ensuring that both traditional and cryptocurrency forms of payment are adequately addressed

Wages in the UAE can be paid in cryptocurrency if the terms are clearly defined, according to a new judgment from the Dubai Court of First Instance.

This decision, made in case number 1739 of 2024 (labour), follows a prior case from 2023 where a similar claim was initially denied by the court.

According to a note published by law firm Wasel & Wasel last week , the 2023 case involved an employee whose contract included both fiat currency and EcoWatt tokens.

“The plaintiff’s employment contract stipulated a monthly salary in fiat currency and an additional 5,250 EcoWatt tokens, a form of cryptocurrency,” wrote Mahmoud Abuwasel , a Managing Partner at Wasel & Wasel.

“The dispute centred on the defendant’s failure to pay the EcoWatt token portion of the salary for six months and the allegedly wrongful termination of the plaintiff’s employment,” Abuwasel added.

In 2023, the Dubai Court of First Instance ruled against this claim, owing to what it said was a lack of a precise valuation of the EcoWatt tokens. At that time, the court had required tangible evidence of the digital currency’s value in fiat terms, reflecting a more traditional approach to financial dispute, Abuwasel noted.

But in an evolutionary approach, a similar case in 2024 has resulted in the court’s ruling mandating an employer to compensate the worker with both the overdue fiat amount and the missing EcoWatt tokens.

It’s unclear if the defendant is the same company which was taken to court in 2023. Nevertheless, Abuwasel said the ruling is a “significant step forward.”

“The court is now accepting and enforcing cryptocurrency as part of wage payments, provided that the contract clearly defines these terms,” he noted.

The decision reinforces the importance of clear and precise contractual terms, ensuring that both traditional and digital forms of payment are adequately addressed in employment agreements.

“This evolution in legal interpretation is a positive development for the integration of cryptocurrencies in business practices,” said Abuwasel.

“It sets a precedent for future cases and underscores the UAE’s commitment to adapting to the changing financial landscape.”
