Five-year multi-use visa for Tourists in UAE

UAE has welcomed 2020 with a great news for tourists; a five-year multi-use visa. The visa will be implemented in the upcoming four months and people of all nationalities can avail it.

UAE is one of the most preferred tourist destinations across the globe and the recent move further enhances its status. This will also boost the tourist and real estate economy of the country, as there will a substantial increase in tourist spending as a result of longer stays.

Currently in UAE, a 90 days multi entry visa is provided to tourists. With the new initiative, tourists can enter the country multiple times in five years, and this saves them the cost of applying for each entry. This comes as a boon for people who visits UAE regularly as it will lessen the procedures and cost associated with applying for visa.

More than 21 million tourists make it to UAE every year and around 25 million visitors are expected to be a part of Expo 2020, that is set to begin in October.

The UAE government had earlier introduced a series of initiatives aimed towards ease of doing business in the country, which was highly appreciated by the business community. Now, with the alteration in the tourist visa policy, the government has made it easier for tourists as well.
