The UAE Cabinet has approved one of the biggest overhauls of the visa residency system in years, ending the need for arrivals to acquire sponsorship.

Accordingly, people who enter as visitors will be able to stay for 60 days, rather than 30 days at present.

Parents can sponsor their male children until the age of 25, up from 18, allowing them to remain in the UAE after school and university.

The Golden Visa system will also be expanded, while new entry visas to make it easier for jobseekers, particularly graduates, to visit the country will be available.

Skilled professionals on salaries of Dh30,000 ($8,100) per month or more will find it easier to gain an Golden Visa.

The UAE Government Media Office announced the changes, approved by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, on Monday.
