My daughter will be living in Dubai with her partner who cannot sponsor her therefore will she be able to obtain a residency visa without sponsorship?

Bob

have a search through the forums, it's been asked a few times...

The short answer is...no.

She will have to exist on tourist visa runs (and you can now only renew three times before having to leave the country for at least a month), unless she gets a job and her company sponsors her.

OMG when did this new ruling come in to effect?

jvr20

a few weeks ago.

IIRC it's not three times you can renew, it's twice.

But you can still extend each one by 30 days.

So really you can be here for 9 months and then exile yourself for a month, not the end of the world if you're not working here...

My son has been doing the visa run for 2 years, the co he worked for would not sponsor him so he quit and now cant find another job.. he needs to renew again this week...will he be okay?

Blue Cat

did he get another visa????

beebee

He hasn't been yet.. Saturday.. I am so worried, what if they deport him..where will he go?

Blue Cat

that won't happen

I think that law was more for other nationalities if you know what I am trying to say

expat.brat

Indians and Pakistanis, you mean.

Miss Eck

oh good evening

beebee

but its always been like that for the 'others'.. and someone on here said the law has now changed for the rest of us too...

Miss Eck

Blue Cat

I was actually referring to all Asian people not just Pakistanis and Indians.
