everything you need to know about the six month dubai visa

Introduction 

Dubai is a land of opportunities, and no matter what you are, an entrepreneur, working professional, or a student, Dubai has a lot of opportunities for you. This is why sometimes a 90-day Dubai Visa is not enough for aspiring people to explore the emirates. To further reside in the Emirates, they renew or extend their visa, but we know that visa extension has its limitations and sometimes it becomes a hurdle for promising and talented investors, entrepreneurs, students, or professionals. 

The UAE authorities also know that a 90 days Visa often limits the chance for aspiring and talented individuals to completely execute their potential in the Emirates, hence the Federal Authority For Identity and Citizenship(FAIC) has provided a new provision to apply for a Six Month Visit Visa. The visa will allow the eligible candidate to apply for an initial and continued 6-months visa to the UAE.  

So if you are also planning to reside in the Emirate for 6 months then read the complete article to learn about the 6-month visit visa to Dubai, the eligibility to apply for it, and all the necessary information about it.
