People caught working on a visit visa will be fined over Dh50,000 and banned from entering the UAE and those employing them will face harsh penalties, a senior interior ministry official said. The official also said trip to nearby countries for visa change would no longer be possible.
Mohammad Ahmad Al Hammadi, Director of the Department of Entry Permits at the DNRD said: "People who go there from the UAE after the expiry of their visa will not be issued a new visa. It is best for them to go back to their country and wait for their visa to enter the UAE again."
He said companies can hire such people temporarily on a contract from the Ministry of Labour. Major General Mohammad Ahmad Al Merri, Director-General of Dubai Naturalisation and Residency Department (DNRD) announced the new visa changes which will be implemented on July 29 at a meeting with representatives of hotels and tourist agencies.
