The UAE Cabinet's decision to introduce visa reforms is being hailed as 'a new lease of life' for expatriate jobseekers, illegal residents, blue-collared workers, widows and divorced women.
The sweeping changes to UAE visa rules will provide a security blanket to overstaying expats and encourage them to come out and legalise their status, which can eventually help them get appropriate employment, opined senior diplomats and social workers.
Furthermore, the decision will also lighten the load on diplomatic missions and welfare organisations that pay hefty penalties on behalf of residents with expired visas. Blue-collared workers are set to benefit the most from the new visa reforms, said the diplomats.
Vipul, Consul-General of India to Dubai, said the widespread changes in the visa regime of the UAE would definitely reduce the burden on the mission and also boost tourism from India. "These are very widespread changes to the visa regime in the UAE, especially for workers. All these steps are very welcome, they will alleviate problems and make it easy to take visas. For us specifically, it would boost tourism from India. If transit visas are given more easily, a lot of people would want to come and spend time here."
Rowena Pangilinan Daquipil, chargé d' affairs at the Philippine Embassy in Abu Dhabi, said:
"We are awaiting details so that we can assist in disseminating information to the Filipino community. These developments, especially concerning waiving overstaying fines and temporary six-month visa for jobseekers, will benefit many regarding evaluating their job options rather than accepting the next available job.
"Moreover, we expect that many overstaying Filipinos would come forward once details on the new rules from the Immigration are supplied soon," she added.
