In the UAE, 65 is the golden number. Expatriates can apply for work permits up until they are 65 years old. Expats here are not eligible for pensions, but they are offered a gratuity scheme. This is an end-of-service pay from companies, that can act as a form of bulk pension amount before leaving the country.
