Yesterday, I got in touched with my friend Jong who is a travel agent to arrange my flight booking for my vacation this coming September and he told me that he has been in the Dubai Naturalization and Residency Department or DNRD for the past few days because of the new Dubai visa rule.

It has been reported few days back that the preparations for implementing the Council of Ministers’ Decision No. 16 for the year 2008 and the Ministerial Decision No. 322 for the year 2008 regarding amendments to certain provisions of the law of entry and residence of foreigners. They said that the new rule will be effective from next week July 29.

Under the present rule, I can come to Dubai on a visit visa and stay here for 2 months. After the visa expires, we then leave the country and travel to Kish island in Iran, Oman a neighboring country and then come back with the new applied visit visa which is again valid for 2 months. This is called visa run. I have been in this situation for several months…

Next week,  visit visa holder will only be allow to enter the UAE once within two months from the date of issue of the visa.
