Highly trained professionals and specialists as well as their families may now be granted visas of up to ten years. Foreign investors or entrepreneurs establishing new ventures in the UAE will also have the advantage of these longer duration visas.
The changes aim to create partnerships, foster best practices and initiate effective technology transfer in fields such as engineering, science and more. For instance, long term visas will be granted for ten years to doctors, which will help to attract specialist talent in the medical field. According to consultant cardiologist Dr Sanjay Rajdev, this will stabilise the system in general when medical professionals are assured of being able to live and work in the country for several years.
