What is the ‘UAE Inside Country Visa’?

It is a UAE visa procedure that permits visitors to extend their stay without the need to exit the UAE. It also saves the applicant from unnecessary hassle as this procedure can be fully completed remotely.

During the COVID pandemic, this procedure was a lifesaver for numerous stranded travellers who were waiting for flights to resume to their destinations.

Is there any time limitation or cut-off period for a ‘UAE Inside Country Visa’?

When compared to visa extensions of numerous other countries, the UAE does not exert any limitations in your extension period. For instance, if you are a UK tourist visa holder you can only extend your stay for a maximum of 6 months. Only medical patients seeking treatment and students are permitted to stay longer than the 6-month cut-off period. The UAE does not impose such restrictions and permits any visitor to extend their stay for as long as they wish by doing an inside country visa extension.

What are the Advantages & Disadvantages of doing an in-country visa?

Advantages

Time-saving because there is no hassle of flying to the nearest airport or driving to the border for a visa change.
It is a fully online procedure so no need to visit the Immigration or tourism offices.
Minimal paperwork is required. Usually, attested birth certificates are required when applying for a kids visa. This procedure doesn't even require that.
You can easily switch to a newly issued passport without leaving the country. Example scenario;
Your current passport is due to expire in 3 months and you applied for your new passport via your country's consulate office in the UAE. After getting your new passport, your prepaid or on-arrival visa can be easily transferred with the in-country visa procedure.
Ideal for individuals with a canceled residence visa who want to stay longer to switch to a new job sponsor or finish up their home moving or settle outstanding loans, etc.

Disadvantages

It is more expensive than a border run.
Visitors get easily played out by falling into low-price inside country visa scams.
Sometimes the application procedure is delayed due to certain technical issues in the immigration.

UAE New work week 2022

Following the UAE government's plan to reduce the working week to four and a half days, UAE immigration will do the same. This is in line with the country's ambition to become the region's most effective and efficient corporate and economic development hub.

Beginning January 1, 2022, the weekend on Saturday and Sunday, as well as limited working hours on Friday, will affect Arabiers' UAE tourist visa renewal service. Those wishing to stay in the UAE longer should apply for extensions and in-country visas during the new work week, which runs from Monday to Friday. It is better to get your extension or in-country done before your current visa expires and to have your status changed a day before your current visa expires.

Expiring passport and getting new passport

To be able to apply for a resident visa or tourist visa in UAE your passport needs to have a minimum 6 months of validity. While you are in the UAE, you may need to renew your passport. If you are an on-arrival or pre-arranged visa holder whose passport expiry is approaching, we advise you to renew your passport way ahead of time. Otherwise you can end up paying overstay fines. After renewing your passport, your visa can be easily changed to the new passport when applying for a new in-country visa.

Local tourism companies provide you 30 or 90 days in country permits, that has a 10 days grace period which gives you 40 or 100 days. If you can't complete your residence permit process (until status change - from tourist to residence) you are liable to pay daily fines. In the other hand the operator who facilitated will be responsible and their permission to issue new permits will be suspended, in order to clear that they will file a escape application with the government applied fee, so you will be absconded and your residence visa application and exit will be denied until you clear the fines and the absconding. If your employer is not understanding your agreement with your tour operator, go ahead and extend your stay or exit the country and then wait for your residence permit.

My 22 year old daughter is in Dubai with a tourist visa. We have renewed the visa 3 times. She is on the hunt for a part-time job to support herself. Is it allowed for students holding tourist visas to seek employment in Dubai? Due to my Residence permit process I am overstaying in my current tourist visa, what will happen to me ?

As per Article 11 of the Immigration Law, your daughter cannot work while she's holding a UAE tourist visa. To seek employment in the UAE she should first get a work permit from the MOHRE (Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation) or any of UAE's free zones. After this, a UAE residence visa will be issued by the GDRFA (General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs)

If your daughter is employed with a tourist visa it is considered illegal and the employer will be liable to certain fines. The student who was working on a tourist visa will be deported if caught which is in accordance with clause 1 and 6 of Article 34 of the immigration law.

Keeping in mind all of the above facts, your daughter has 3 options:

1. Get a work permit sponsored by her employer even if she plans on working part time.
2. Sponsor your daughter to get a residence visa after you have obtained your own residence visa. Once she's under your sponsorship you can submit a NOC to her prospective employer.
3. If your daughter is enrolled in an educational institution or university she is eligible to apply for a student visa. She can then seek part time employment by getting an NOC from her university/ educational institution
