No longer do investors need to be concerned about how long they should stay in the UAE for business dealings or to examine various options and make a decision concerning investment. UAE announces 6-month interim visas for long-term residence visa seekers.

Since this is a multiple entry visa, investors can enter and exit the UAE on the same visa several times – whenever they wish to. This will take away the burden of having to plan your trip,         --which frequently involves postponing business meetings-- so it is ensured you’re in the Emirates when your presence is required for a particular purpose like signing legal documents concerning business setup or getting a medical test done in order to get a residence visa and so on.

Also, you won’t have to worry about paying extra fees for another visa when you return to the UAE to complete your transactions. For instance, if you wish to open a nursery, for which you require the approval of several government authorities like KHDA, it normally takes up to six months to register the license and start operating.

With the long-term multiple visas that is available now, the shareholder can start the process of registering a nursery, exit the UAE and return for signing legal documents on the same visa – saving time and money. 

One more great benefit is the fact that this policy enables entrepreneurs to apply for long-term visas for their families as well. This new policy facilitates ease of movement for investors and their families.
