Dubai has introduced updated immigration and entry regulations affecting foreign visitors, investors, and expatriate workers, according to The Economic Times.
Under the revised rules, citizens of India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Kenya, and South Africa can now receive a visa on arrival if they hold valid residence permits from countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Canada, Australia, or European Union member states.
Additionally, Golden Visa eligibility has been expanded to encompass more qualifying professional, specialist, and humanitarian categories. Dubai authorities have also introduced measures linking residency permit processing and renewals to the settlement of unpaid traffic fines. The reforms are part of wider federal initiatives designed to ease access for skilled professionals and long-term residents.
