(MENAFN) Two new visa categories - green visa and freelance visa were proclaimed by the UAE as the Gulf country plans to attract global talent for its ambitious economic transformation plans.
During a press event in Dubai, Minister of State for Foreign Trade Thani bin Ahmed Al-Zeyoudi stated that top students, investors, businessmen, and those with specialized skills are qualified to get the green visa.
The ones who took the green visa are going to be able to sponsor their parents, in addition to their sons until the age of 25. Upon termination of the visa, they are going to be given a 90 to 180 days grace period, that is more than the traditional visas given by the UAE.
