The Remote Work Visa was launched by the UAE Government, which allows foreign nationals to live and work remotely in the country for up to one year. Here are some key details about the remote work visa program:

  • Eligibility: To be eligible for a remote work visa, applicants must be at least 18 years old, have health insurance coverage in the UAE, and provide proof of employment from a company based outside of the UAE. Freelancers who can provide proof of income and a valid contract for services with a company outside the UAE are also eligible.

  • Visa Validity: The remote work visa is valid for one year and allows holders to enter and exit the UAE multiple times during that period. Holders are not allowed to work for any UAE-based company during their stay.
  • Residency: Holders of the remote work visa are considered residents of the UAE and are eligible to open a bank account, obtain a driver's license, and apply for other services available to UAE residents.
  • Cost of Living: While the cost of living in the UAE can be relatively high, remote workers may find it more affordable than other major cities around the world, particularly with the current favorable exchange rates.
  • Overall, the remote work visa program is designed to attract remote workers and digital nomads to the UAE, and to support the country's broader economic goals of diversifying its economy and attracting foreign investment.
