UAE Mainland Visas

For any expat to reside in the UAE for a long period of time, they must acquire a residency visa. According to UAE immigration laws, anyone wishing to stay in any Emirate needs to apply for a residency permit. The visa is often sponsored by someone else who could be your employer owning a mainland company in Dubai. Your spouse residing in the UAE who already has an investor or employment visa can also sponsor you and get a dependent visa for you.
