As of November 16, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai announced the introduction of five-year multi-entry visas for employees of multinational companies so that Dubai can accelerate momentum across tourism and other sectors.
Dubai’s General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) and Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism are jointly developing the new visa. The visa allows holders multiple entries during the year, and it is valid for five years. Individuals holding this visa may visit the UAE for 90 days, with the option of extending their stay for another 90 days.
With Dubai’s recently announced Five-Year Multi-Entry Tourist Visa for business and leisure travel, we have launched a program to assist your global business personnel in visiting Dubai. If you are setting up your presence in Dubai, this will allow them to conveniently access and work from your offices or conduct regional business.
