To increase its demographic and encourage travel in the area, the UAE is undertaking a number of projects. The government wants to foster a secure environment for foreigners to operate in and develop by minimizing the time and inconvenience that comes with applying for or renewing visas.
With the introduction of a new visa program, which came into effect on October 3, the UAE has altered its immigration laws to permit longer tourist stays and a quicker application procedure. What has changed in the UAE’s New visa policy is as follows:
A. Visit Visa

There will be no more requirements for sponsorship for the five-year multiple-entry tourist visa, which permits tourists to stay in the country for up to 90 days. For multi-entry visa, a traveler’s presence may be prolonged, but it must not go beyond 180 days in a calendar year.

Long-term residency is available to professionals with higher skill levels. It has a minimum wage requirement of Dh30,000 per month.
