The UAE announces 8 new types of visas to enter the country

ahmed atef - | UAE

According to a study by the nation's digital government, foreign nationals who enter the UAE lawfully through entrance permits are granted a resident visa, which enables them to remain and work there for varying lengths of time—up to ten years—depending on the kind of visa.

Eight different visa categories are available for entry into the United Arab Emirates for varying lengths of time: retired expatriate residency, blue residency visa, golden residency, residency in the UAE for work, residency for remote work, residency for establishing a business, residency for studying in the UAE, and residency for family members.

Validity of residence visa

it made the point that a resident visa's validity varies depending on its category and the guarantor; for example, the Golden resident Visa has a duration of one year, two years, three years, five years, or ten years.

Granting a five-year and ten-year residence visa

it pointed out that a five-year and ten-year residence visa can be granted for particular categories and under specific conditions in accordance with recent revisions to the policy for issuing residence visas.

Residence visas for family members

Family members' residence visas expire when the head of the household or the guarantor leaves the country, and they are immediately terminated or canceled if the person is absent from the nation for longer than 180 days. Individuals who possess a Golden residence visa are not subject to this requirement, as their permission to remain outside the country is unrestricted and their stay does not result in the revocation of their residency.

An individual who is 18 years of age or older must have a state-mandated medical fitness assessment in order to demonstrate his fitness before the state may issue or renew a resident visa.

it listed seven benefits of being a resident of the United Arab Emirates. A person living there with a valid residency permit can take use of the following amenities:

  • establishing a bank account
  • Savor financial resources
  • Making a driver's license application
  • Government health care and health insurance accessibility
  • enrolling kids in both private and public schools
  • Trade and capitalization
  • Visit the embassy of the foreign nation you want to visit for information on traveling to specific locations without a visa in advance or with one upon arrival.
