Dubai has launched a five-year multi-entry visa for employees of multinational companies to boost tourism and other business sectors.

The visa allows them to stay in the UAE for 90 days, with the option of extending their stay for another 90 days.

Issued by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) Dubai in cooperation with Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), the visa is one more in the category of special visas, such as Golden Visa, for entrepreneurs and property and business investors.

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince, said, “The new Five-Year Multi-Entry Visa is the latest in a series of initiatives launched by Dubai to create new opportunities for professionals and talented individuals across the world to grow and thrive.”

“Dubai seeks to dynamically adapt to evolving global conditions, embrace change and develop innovative initiatives to deliver future growth and offer new avenues for development and transformation, while remaining one of the world’s safest and most secure cities,” he said.

GDRFA-Dubai said the visa is especially beneficial to employees of foreign-owned firms as it enables them to participate in events, conferences, training courses, exhibitions and similar activities hosted in Dubai by these companies.
Between January and September 2021, Dubai received around 3.85 million international visitors. There are 726 hotel establishments with a total of 123,868 rooms that are open in Dubai, with an overall 61 percent occupancy.
