The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has implemented a new immigration and residency policy in an effort to recruit and keep talented people from all over the world. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The purpose of the revised entrance and visa policies is to facilitate travel to and within the United Arab Emirates and increase the country&#8217;s appeal to visitors. Also, visitors visiting the UAE have a lot of leeway in terms of extending their stay. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, the ICA now offers a service for providing visas to family groups travelling to the UAE for vacation, medical care, or to accompany a patient for a stay of 60 or 180 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Rules_for_UAE_Visa_Stamping_2023\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Rules for UAE Visa Stamping 2023<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12535 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/New-Rules-for-UAE-Visa-Stamping-2023.jpg\" alt=\"New Rules for UAE Visa Stamping 2023\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/New-Rules-for-UAE-Visa-Stamping-2023.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/New-Rules-for-UAE-Visa-Stamping-2023-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/New-Rules-for-UAE-Visa-Stamping-2023-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/New-Rules-for-UAE-Visa-Stamping-2023-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The United Arab Emirates government has recently stated that it would no longer need the stamping of resident visas in passports. In order to increase tourism and facilitate visa applications for UAE citizens, the new regulation will go into effect in January 2023. United Arab Emirates nationals may now apply for both their Emirates ID and residence visa in a single step under the new regulations. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new procedure is meant to streamline the application and cut down on wait times. The government has increased the cost of visas and Emirates IDs by AED 100, in addition to instituting a new smart service charge.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visa_Extension_New_Rules_2023\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visa Extension New Rules 2023<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travellers with 90-day visit visas may now extend their stay in Dubai and the rest of the UAE for an extra 30 days on a one-time basis thanks to visit visa extension rules introduced by the ICP, the UAE Federal Authority for Identification, Nationality, Customs and Ports Security. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visa extensions may be granted for up to 90 days, which is in addition to the visa&#8217;s initial entrance validity term of 30 days. Thus, it is not possible to renew tourist visas while in the United Arab Emirates. Anybody currently in the UAE on a visit visa who wishes to prolong their stay must leave the country and reapply for a visa extension upon their return.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Please note<\/strong>: While there has been no official announcement of the new visa extension rule by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Ports Security (ICP); it has been reported that requests for extensions of stay made while still in the country are recently being refused.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visit_Visa_Overstay_UAE_New_Rules_2023\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit Visa Overstay UAE New Rules 2023<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12536 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Visit-Visa-Overstay-UAE-New-Rules-2023.jpeg\" alt=\"Visit Visa Overstay UAE New Rules 2023\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Visit-Visa-Overstay-UAE-New-Rules-2023.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Visit-Visa-Overstay-UAE-New-Rules-2023-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Visit-Visa-Overstay-UAE-New-Rules-2023-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Visit-Visa-Overstay-UAE-New-Rules-2023-768x432.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a visitor&#8217;s visa expires in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), they must depart the country with an outpass or leaving permission. If you need an exit visa or outpass from Dubai or the United Arab Emirates, you may get one at the airport, at land borders, or at the Al Awir Immigration office. Prices for the same range from 200 to 300 AED. Anybody who overstays their visa will be subject to a fine of AED 50 per day. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the new visit visa rules in UAE, visitors to the United Arab Emirates will have an extra 10 days to leave the country after their visa expires. On the other hand, they will be responsible for the overstay fees if their stay exceeds 10 days. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that cancelled flights and closed airports will not incur an overstay fee.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Rules_for_UAE_Visit_Visa_Price_2023\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Rules for UAE Visit Visa Price 2023<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the new 2023 Visa rules, Visa fees have doubled, which is the most notable difference. This includes tourist visas for 30 and 60 days in the United Arab Emirates and Dubai, which each cost AED 100 more than they did before. Additionally, the ICA&#8217;S charge for a visitor visa valid for a single month has increased from AED 270 to AED 370.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unused_UAE_Visit_Visa_New_Rules_2023\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unused UAE Visit Visa New Rules 2023<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a visitor to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) cannot enter the country within a certain amount of time after receiving a visit visa, the visitor must revoke the visa. Cancelling a visa after it has already been issued may cost as much as AED 300, which varies widely by the travel agency.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rules_for_Golden_Visa_2023\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rules for Golden Visa 2023<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The golden new visa rules in UAE 2023 allow qualifying individuals to live and work in the Emirate for an impressive 10 years, which is a substantial increase from the previous duration. Investors, entrepreneurs, skilled workers, scientists, exceptional students and graduates, and individuals with outstanding abilities are all among those who may benefit from the new regulations. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, Golden Residence holders can now sponsor their spouses and children of any age and even support service labourers, with no limit on the number of sponsorships. But that&#8217;s not all; the UAE has also extended the grace period for Golden Visa holders and their families, so there&#8217;s no need to worry if your residence visa expires or is cancelled. You now have 6 more months to make the necessary arrangements.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Green_Residence_2023\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Green Residence 2023<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12538 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Green-Residence-2023.jpg\" alt=\"Green Residence 2023\" width=\"1440\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Green-Residence-2023.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Green-Residence-2023-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Green-Residence-2023-1024x444.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Green-Residence-2023-768x333.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The UAE is launching a new 5-year residency program for the UAE Green Visa, aimed primarily at attracting skilled professionals, talented individuals, freelancers, investors, and entrepreneurs from around the world.

Overstay fees may be assessed on a dependent&#8217;s visa if the green visa holder fails to renew or cancel that visa. The holder of a Green Residence may also sponsor his immediate family members, and their stays in the country will be granted for the same number of years as the holders.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Children_of_Emirati_Women_Five-Year_Residency_Visas\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children of Emirati Women: Five-Year Residency Visas<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children born to Emirati women who marry foreign nationals can now have their residence visas extended to five years from the previous three years under a new UAE policy.
