The United Arab Emirates has approved the creation of a new five-year, multiple-entry visa for tourists who wish to visit the country repeatedly without having to apply for a new visa every three months.
The new option was announced on Twitter by UAE Prime Minister, Vice President, and Ruler of Dubai HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum after a meeting of the country’s cabinet.
Previously, tourists have been able to receive a free visa on arrival into the Emirates that allowed multiple entry but only over a period of 90 days.
The Sheikh’s tweet noted, “We receive more than 21 million tourists annually and our aim is to establish the country as a major global tourist destination.”
