3-6 months to get a residency visa!!
I've just been told that it is currently taking 3-6 months to get a residency visa for the UAE.
I know Miss Eck pointed out that it takes about 5 weeks to get one, so is there anything I could get them to follow up on to speed it up a bit (well considerably)?
Don't fancy being stuck on my own for so long without the family.
Thanks.

Thanks. But doesn't this cause problems with it comes to do the visa run? Presumably then I could do the run whilst the family remains in the UAE on tourist visas?

Is the 3-6months due to a backlog with the UAE Residency dept, or do you think it might be the company being slow?

No idea why it is taking so long. I guess they can only go as fast as they can.

I guess this must be the critical factor, I arrived on Tuesday afternoon, went to get my blood test and chest x-ray on wednesday and had the residency visa in my passport on Thursday. I guess the comapny I am working for have some connections?
