Tourist visas will be extended for one additional month without any government fees.
UAE residents have expressed delight over being able to spend more time with their visiting loved ones. This has been made possible by a visit visa extension announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, late on Monday.
Dubai resident Asif Mehmood said his parents arrived in the UAE on a visit visa in October. They were due to return to Pakistan’s capital Islamabad on January 2.
