Abstract

Art. 1 of this decision replaces the text of several articles of the original Ministerial Decision No. 360 of 1997 issuing the Implementing Regulations of Federal Law No. 6 of 1973. The replaced articles are 33, 38, 39, 40, and 44.

The new Art. 33 stipulates that a multiple entry visa grants its holder the right to enter the UAE multiple times within six months of its issuance and remain in the country for fourteen days each time.

1. A long visit entry permit entitling its holder to remain in the country for 90 days, non-renewable.
2. A short visit entry permit entitling its holder to remain in the country for 30 days, non-renewable.
