The new resolutions are among several initiatives approved by the cabinet during a meeting chaired by Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to position the UAE as an ideal work and tourist destination.
The new remote work visa will enable employees from all over the world to live and work remotely from the UAE even if their companies are based in another country. Also, a multiple-entry tourist visa can now be issued for all nationalities, in a step that aims to facilitate the process for tourists.
The five-year visa enables tourists to enter multiple times on self-sponsorship and remain in the country for 90 days on each visit, which can be extended for another 90 days.
