The UAE is considered one of the most popular countries amongtourists and immigrants: more than 80% of the population isforeign-born. As the question of residence and visiting is alwaysactual for the United Arab Emirates, the rules for entry are amendedconstantly. Here are the most important and interesting paragraphsfrom the new regulation:
– A tourist multi-entry visa for five years was announced. It requires its owner to have more than 4,000 USD in their bank accountand provide proof.
– Business-entry visas do not require a sponsor anymore, becausethe UAE wants to attract more funders and businessmen.
– Visitors who come for temporary work do not need a sponsor either, if they have one of the skill levels required by the special department. They also should provide proof of their bachelor’s degree or counter-value (holders of this visa are not allowed to have a lower educational level).
The other requirements mostly address the residents or the immigrants. Thus, it means that the government of the United Arab Emirates is reconsidering their entry politics and, perhaps, new announcements are to be made soon.
