The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has urged UAE citizens to understand Germany's new regulations pertaining to renewal of residency permits for Emiratis who remain in Germany for 90 days or more, either for medical treatment or as medical escorts.
Under the new regulations, UAE citizens should renew or extend their residency permits in Germany for a period of one to three weeks. Overstaying the permitted residency period will result in hefty fines and a one-year ban on entry to the countries of the Schengen area.
The ministry also urged UAE citizens traveling abroad, especially to European Union countries, to get acquainted with travel guidelines and tips. The ministry advised them to read up the 'citizens affairs pages' on the ministry's official website.
The ministry stressed the need for citizens to respect laws and regulations in all countries they visit, and to cooperate with the authorities there. It urged citizens travelling by land to abide by traffic and safety laws. - Wam
