In giving a big sigh to all expats, the UAE government has updated its visa and national ID card rules. This was announced by the UAE Cabinet on Friday.
As per the new rules, residents who are outside the country and whose residency has expired after the first of March 2020, or who have exceeded a period of six months outside the country will be granted a specific time frame to return to the country from the date of the airspace opening between the two countries.
The UAE Cabinet has also approved stopping the implementation of all decisions related to the residency visa, visas, entry permits and ID cards as of July 11, 2020.
