UAE has brought some major changes to its Visa policy. The changes commenced on October 21 2018. They will benefit the Overseas Immigrants and also help the country's economy.
The changes are being implemented currently by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship or ICA. The modified UAE Visa policy will extend entry permits for women. It benefits Widows and divorced women. The UAE Visa for students sponsored by their parents will be renewed as well.
Overseas Immigrants whose UAE Visa is about to expire, will get an extension of 30 days. They have to pay Dh600. The extension will be granted twice. The tourism industry has supported this decision. Specialists in talent and human resources said this initiative would benefit Overseas Immigrants.
Saeed Rakan Al Rashidi, acting director general at ICA was quoted as saying that these changes would help the companies in UAE. They would not have to hire workers from outside the country thus saving recruitment time and cost.
As reported by Gulf News, Overseas Immigrants travel to UAE on tourist Visa and start looking for job opportunities. The new changes ensure that they get a Visa extension. It will help them look for the right job opportunities.
According to ICA, with Overseas Immigrants staying longer, local businesses would benefit as well.
This will help the country’s economy. In addition, the Overseas Workers can bring their families who can now stay for longer periods. It is a strategic step in boosting the economy.
