The six-month visa for jobseekers in the UAE will no longer be available
Abu Dhabi: The six-month temporary visa issued to job seekers will no longer be available. This visa was granted as a relief to illegal residents during the amnesty.
The amnesty in the UAE ended on December 31 after being extended twice earlier. During the amnesty period, illegal residents had the opportunity to correct their documents or return home without paying fines. But the six-month temporary visa was granted as a relief to those who had lost their jobs and stayed illegally. Those who bought such visas using the amnesty can find a new job in the country within six months.
If you get a new job before the visa expires, you should switch to a work visa. If you don’t get a job within six months, you have to go back. Later they can return to look for work only on a new visitor visa. With the end of the amnesty, the issuance of six-month temporary visas also ended.
