Millions dream to work abroad and earn mega bucks but jobs in Middle East are generally contractual or for short period. So, once your work tenure gets over, you have to leave the city and take the family back unless you find a new job there. And even if you are able to grab a good deal, you need to cancel visas of the family members under the previous employers’ sponsorship. But no longer!
Expatriates working in UAE can now escape the troubles involved post completion of the employment contract. They are no longer required to cancel visas of their family members as they can now deposit a bank guarantee of 5,000 dirham or $136 for each of them with the Department of Naturalisation and Residency (NRD). Once you procure new residency permit and visas for yourself and the family, the sponsored ones will be directly transferred to you without any other extra payment.
In such a case where you do not want the cancellation of the visas of your family members, you must apply and inform the NRD beforehand. You are required to attach 5,000 dirhams bank guarantee, the job offer letter from the new employer and the new employment permit issued by the Ministry of Labor to the new sponsor. Such efforts are being made with a view to streamline procedures for expat residents without adding much to their financial burdens.
The NRD Ministry has been presenting new plans everyday to make it easier for expatriates to prolong their stay in UAE with their families. Also, this would help avoid any kind of hassles they may face in sending and then bringing them back after getting a new job. The conditions are being improved everyday encouraging more and more expatriates to join the workforce in UAE.
