Visitors to the country will now be allowed to enter and exit the UAE multiple times over a period of 5 years.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has announced that tourist visas in the UAE will now be issued for five years and will be available for all nationalities.
“The year 2020 will be different because it is the year of preparation for the next 50, the year in which we design the future of the Emirates.”
Sheikh Mohammed on Twitter
Currently, all tourist visas are issued only with a maximum of 90 days. While few months ago, golden 10 year visas were awarded to businessmen and personalities who were identified to have significant assets in the country.
While we are still awaiting on the details about the cost and the process, this is definitely a good sign for a futuristic world without borders.
Kudos to UAE and its leaders!
