ABU DHABI – The UAE’s Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) has approved new amendments and additions to regulations regarding entry visa for foreign nationals. The Gulf country has launched four new visit visa categories for those who are specialists in artificial intelligence, entertainment, events, cruise ships and leisure boats, according to WAM news. The UAE has also unveiled a humanitarian residence permit with validity period of one year. The UAE has allowed residents to sponsor a visit visa for a friend or relative up to third degree, based on the sponsor’s income. In contrast, obtaining a truck driver visa requires a sponsor in the destination country, along with meeting specific health and financial criteria.
