In this article published by The National, Partner Haider Hussain discusses the UAE's recently-updated visa regulations implemented in an effort to attract top talent to the region.
Updated guidelines for golden and investor visas now allow for some exemptions to the rule that UAE residents must return to the Emirates within a stipulated period of time for their visas to remain valid.
“It is important for people to be aware of the six-month rule and plan accordingly. For individuals on an employment residence permit with accompanying dependents, the expectation is that they will stay in the UAE," says Haider.
