1)Question: I have a residency
visa in the UAE, but I am still waiting for my Emirates ID card. I
would like to know if I can travel out of the country without an identity
card.U.A.E Residents
Answer:
You can travel out of the UAE without the Emirates ID card as long as your
residency visa has been issued. UAE immigration will be able to see your
visa status electronically.
It
is advisable to bring a copy of your Emirates ID card application form with you
in case immigration asks for proof that you have applied for the ID. You can
also show them the online application status if available.
2)Paternity leave in U.AE is it possible to add this leave
to my annual leave?
Answer:
Yes, you may be able to add your paternity leave to your annual leave in the
UAE. Cabinet Decision No. 1/2022 allows combining parental leave with annual
leave
Paternity
leave in the UAE is for 5
working days for
both private and public sectors. This leave applies to fathers employed by both
private and public sectors and can be taken any time within the first 6 months
of the child's birth.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Approval needed: While regulations allow it, you will still need
to get approval from your employer to combine your paternity leave with
your annual leave.
- Notice period: Make sure to notify your employer well in advance
about your intention to use both your paternity leave and annual leave
together.
- Documentation: You will need to provide proof of your child's
birth to avail of paternity leave.
3) I have an offshore bank account – will I have
to close this account when I move to the U.A.E
Answer?
No, you generally do not have to close your offshore bank account when moving
to the UAE. The UAE does not restrict residents from having offshore bank
accounts.
However,
it's important to be aware of UAE regulations regarding reporting foreign
income. You may be required to disclose your offshore accounts and any income
earned on them to the UAE authorities.
4)
Is it possible to sponsor my mother-in-law and father in law in U.A.E?
5) Is it possible to take a Resident visa
from GCC countries for a U.A.E resident
without canceling a U.A.E visa?
Yes, it is possible to sponsor your
mother-in-law and father-in-law for residency in the UAE, under the Parent
Residence Visa program. There have been some recent changes to the
eligibility criteria, so here's what you need to know:
- Minimum Salary: You will need to meet a minimum monthly salary
threshold to be eligible. This amount is higher than what's required for
sponsoring a spouse or child.
- Financial Support: You no longer need to be the
sole financial support for your parents-in-law, as was previously
required. However, you will still need to demonstrate sufficient income to
cover their living expenses.
- Sponsored Together: You cannot sponsor just one
parent-in-law. The application needs to be for both of them.
No, it is generally not possible to hold a resident visa from another GCC country while being a resident of the UAE. UAE residency visas are typically tied to employment or sponsorship within the UAE.
If
you are considering working in another GCC country, you would likely need to
apply for a work visa in that country. This would likely cancel your UAE
residency visa.
Here's
why:
· Tied to Sponsorship: UAE residency visas are linked to your
employer or sponsor in the UAE. Having a residency visa in another GCC country
would indicate sponsorship or employment outside the UAE, which would conflict
with your UAE visa.
· Specific Country Requirements: Each GCC country has its own
immigration regulations. To obtain residency in another GCC country, you would
need to meet their specific requirements, which would likely involve canceling
your UAE visa.
