With the review of the UAE Visa system, which became effective on Monday, October 3, 2022, visitors, and residents can now enjoy an array of benefits. Tourist visas now have a 30-day extension on their original validity period and a five-year multi-entry tourist visa which allows visitors to stay up to 90 continuous days in the UAE.

Additionally, residents have been offered a more simplified requirement to acquire the UAE golden visa and the five-year UAE green visa. The green visa allows its holder to sponsor him or herself for five years without the need for company sponsorship, as well as offering an array of benefits to family members, which applies to 3 categories of UAE residents; Freelancers or those who are self-employed; Investors or partners in commercial businesses; and highly skilled workers.

Numerous visas, such as the one-year remote working visa, the five-year retirement visa, and the two-year real estate owner visa do not require a sponsor and can be extended for the same timescale.

The UAE Government's Twitter account stated that the reduction of the system's complexity to 10 types of visas is "a step that enhances the country's competitiveness in the tourism, economic, and educational sectors" and represents one of the most significant changes to the country's immigration policies in recent years.
