UAE: Residency and Foreigners Affairs Clarifies Status of Those Who Lost Their Jobs
The Director of the General Administration of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai has confirmed the Humanitarian Cases Department will facilitate the return of people who have lost their jobs to their home countries following the expiry of their residence. Even though their residency expired they had to remain in the UAE because of Coronavirus. They will be allowed to stay until their company reemploys them or they get a new job. Those who have had to pay fines because of this will be dealt with separately.
