New Visa Facilities Will Make It Easy For Job Seekers And Tourists

Fresh graduates from universities and tourists planning to visit Dubai will be delighted to know the new visa facilities approved at a meeting at the UAE Cabinet.

Job seekers can avail a six months-temporary visa

Finding a job won’t be as time-constrained as it used to be, thanks to the newly approved six months temporary visa, which comes without any fees! This move will not only make it easier to find employment but will also make it simpler for companies to recruit and eliminate the rushed process of getting a visa.

In a cabinet meeting today we approved reforms including replacing the bank guarantee system for private sector employees, with a low-cost insurance scheme. This will release AED 14 billion back to the private sector companies and will further lower the cost of doing business . pic.twitter.com/4BYNzldJ0S
