Have I missed the point, or am I stupid.
You own a property that has a worth, (in a calculation yet to be determined), of 1m aeds, and in return you receive a 6 mth visit visa.
Not a full residence visa, which has certain rights associated with it.
For example under the new rules, (as far as I can tell), the recepient of the 6 mth visa, can not buy a car, or obtain a health card, or E card: all or any of the "benefits" of the residential visa.
Every six months you must leave your home, and go elsewhere.
Not just a visa run, but one month away, from your home.
Does the "visa" allow family to come and go as they please.
This Visa is not in your passport, but a seperate document.
This rule is so typical of the rules introduced, there is absolutly no thinking, about the actual implementation.
Under the existing visa rules, (
AFAIK) a brit, for example can do a visa run every two months, or so, and stay in UAE on that basis. Is this still the case. For example, I depart the UAE every few weeks, on business, and return using my passport, then there is no problem. My family would have a problem, but I would be "legally" in UAE.
Discuss.
My apologies if already forumised.
