Students dependent on their parents after Grade 12 and those who have finished their university studies can soon be granted a one-year extension of their residence visa twice, according to the new visa reforms to be implemented starting next week.
Brigadier Saeed Rakan Al Rashidi, acting director-general of foreigners affairs and ports at the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, explained that the UAE Cabinet decision grants a one-year residency visa extension that can be renewed for an additional year, for dependent students after Grade 12 or those above 18 and for students who have completed the university studies.
"The dependent students will be granted residence visa for one year which can be renewed for an additional year, starting from the date of graduating from the university or after obtaining the high school certificate," said Al Rashidi.
