I am visitor/tourist in the UAE and can I renew my visa?

Visitors within the UAE can extend their stay in the country by applying for a new visit or tourist visa through any tour agency.

Due to the spread of COVID-19, tourists and visitors inside the country can extend their stay by applying for a new visa during their stay here.

Tourists and visitors can either leave the country when their visa expires or change the status by getting a new visa through tourist companies, the source said. Visitors can get sponsors like family members to apply for the new visa if he or she is still inside the country.

What happens if I stay on without renewing the visa?
People who stay in the country without changing their status on the expiry of their visas will be subject of fines.

Can I renew my residency permit now?

Residents in the UAE can renew their residency permits if they are still inside the country.

Residents who are transferring their residency to a different sponsor inside the country can still do so too.

Moreover, if a person has cancelled his residency and cannot leave the country due to the spread of COVID-19, he can change his status by applying for a visit visa through tourist agencies.

I have a residency visa and am overseas and cannot fly. The duration of my stay abroad has crossed 180 days? What will happen to my residency?
As things stand, people with a valid UAE residency but are out of the country for more than 180 days, will have their residency cancelled if they don’t arrive in the UAE before the grace period. However, such people are advised to check with the concerned authority after two weeks for any updates or new instructions.

I am resident who went on a holiday to Mumbai and was to return on March 24. I urgently need to come back, how can I?
Holders of valid UAE residency, who are currently out of the country, were suspended from entry for a renewable period of two weeks effective noon on Thursday, March 19.

Is home quarantine a must if I’ve returned from abroad?
UAE Attorney General Hamad Al Shamsi said that every person coming to the UAE must abide by the duration of the home quarantine in his place for 14 days.

What happens if I don’t self-quarantine?
Anyone found leaving his place of residence during the quarantine period will be punishable by law. The penalty includes jail, fine or both.

If I cancel my residency and cannot travel to my home country, what should I do?
You can change your status by going to a travel agency and applying for a visit visa.
