UAE:Employment and Immigration Laws
The UAE has relaxed the rules regarding Tourist Visas as part of
their Expo 2020 objective. The Prime Minster of UAE announced in
January 2020 that the time limit of the multi entry visit tourist
visa shall be increased from 90 days, to a period of 5 years. This
initiative aims to boost national economy by attracting more and
more people into the retail and hospitality sector.
Despite increasing the term to a period of 5 years, visitors
shall not be permitted to work in the UAE. Considering the increase
in the number of visitors expected to enter into the UAE, there
shall be certain restrictions that will be imposed on holders
thereof. It is likely that the government will impose a cap on the
period of time that an individual may remain in the country.
