The UAE cabinet has approved a new Remote Work Visa that will allow workers from all over the world to live and work remotely from the UAE, even though their businesses are located elsewhere.
According to sources, the one-year visa allows foreigners to enter the UAE on their own initiative and work in accordance with the visa’s terms and conditions. The new scheme aims to improve the tourism sector’s competitiveness and support the UAE economy.
In a move to reinforce the UAE’s status as a global economic capital, the cabinet meeting chaired by Vice President Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who is also Dubai’s ruler, approved a multiple entry tourist visa for all nationalities.
The multiple entry tourist visa is a step designed to make the process easier for visitors and tourists. Tourists with the five-year visa can enter the country on self-sponsorship multiple times and stay for 90 days on each visit, which can be extended for another 90 days.
