Tourist Visa

Applicants now have access to the Remote Working Visa scheme announced in March 2021. This UAE scheme allows foreigners to work remotely for their overseas employer for a maximum of one year from the United Arab Emirates, with the option to extend.

This one-year visa allows foreigners to visit the UAE under self-sponsorship and work under the visa’s terms and conditions.

This program seeks to help the public and private sectors improve work-life balance, increase productivity, and improve the business environment. Employees can also improve their digital abilities and adapt to the new gig economy.

The move allows remote workers and their families to relocate yearly to one of the world’s leading tourism and business destinations and enjoy a secure and high-quality lifestyle underpinned by a robust digital infrastructure that assures seamless connectivity.
