The UAE government has announced a significant update to its visa regulations, making renewals easier and more streamlined for long-term expatriate residents. Effective immediately, expats who have resided in the UAE for over five years and hold certain professional roles will be eligible for a simplified online renewal process. Previously, the renewal process often involved in-person visits and extensive documentation."This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to attract and retain global talent," said a spokesperson from the Ministry of Interior. "We want to make the UAE an even more attractive and convenient place for expats to live and work." The new system promises faster processing times and reduced paperwork, benefiting thousands of long-term residents across the Emirates. Further details and eligibility criteria are available on the official government websites.
