I am an Indian national with a UAE visa valid until August 2018. I travelled to India one week ago and am planning to return end-January 2018. My passport will expire on March 2, 2018. Will my passport still have validity and can I get it renewed once I am back in the UAE?  Will I face any issues coming back into the UAE?
Answer:
It is understood that you are an Indian national holding a UAE residence/employment visa which is valid till the month of August 2018. However, your passport will be expiring in the month of March 2018. You are currently in India and you plan to return mid-January.
Pursuant to your questions it may be noted that, since your passport and the residence/employment visa is still within its validity period, you may enter the UAE by mid-January. Once you are back in the UAE, you may contact BLS International Visa and Passport Services for renewal of your passport.
KNOW THE LAW: If your passport and the residence/employment visa is still within its validity period, you may enter the UAE without any hassles
