UAE: Expired visas of some residents extend until December 9

Some expats in Dubai whose residency visas expired while they were stranded abroad amid the COVID-19 travel restrictions, have been granted automatic visa extensions until December 9, 2021, Khaleej Times reports.

According to an Amer centre call employee, those stranded abroad with expired visas have been granted automatic visa renewal for three months, including the one-month grace period for reapplication.

They need to apply for a pre-travel GDRFA approval and adhere to all other RT-PCR testing protocols set by the government before travelling, he added.
