Following the implementation of the new labour law in February 2022, and the new law on entry and residency of foreigners in September 2021, the UAE government continues to roll out enhancements that reshape the country’s immigration landscape. The most recent amendment is the publication of executive regulations supplementing the law on entry and residency of foreigners, issued earlier this month. The implementation of the regulations will be governed by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security and will come into force on September 5, 2022.
