Green Visa
The Dubai freelance visa provides individuals the opportunity to work independently. Among the recent changes in the UAE visa system, the Green Visa has sparked the most interest. The Advanced Visa System, active today, permits eligible residents to apply for the Green Visa through typing centers. Skilled workers, self-employed individuals, and investors can now opt for the Green Visa, enabling them to sponsor themselves and their families for 5 years, a significant extension from the previous 2-year visa duration.
