The changes will take place starting from December 1, 2020. Foreign nationals living the UAE have a renewable visa. The visa is usually valid for two years and it is linked with employment.

The UAE authorities have made it more flexible with longer residencies, allowing investors, students and professionals to have 10 years visas.

Over the past few months, celebrities and sportsperson have been granted the golden visa. The scheme was announced for the first time in 2018.
