The new reforms to the UAE visa system now grant people on visit or tourist visas a 30-day visa extension twice (total of 60 days) without having to leave the country.
Previously, people on visit or tourist visas, especially job-seekers, had to leave the UAE after the expiration of their three-month visit visa or one-month tourist visa and then applied for new visas so as to return to the UAE.
"The new system now allows people on visit or tourist visas to extend their stay in the UAE for 30 days, for two times, after expiration of the entry permits," said Brigadier Saeed Rakan Al Rashidi, acting director-general of Foreigners Affairs and Ports at the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship.
"The extension of visas for visitors without exiting the country will help job-seekers get more time to find jobs and will spare them from the travel burden and other expenses as it has been the case."

"The visit and tourist visa can only be extended twice - 30 days for each extension and after that the person must leave the country or face fines," said Al Rashidi.
