Insurance system to
replace bank guarantee for employment, 48 hours free visa for transit
travellers.
The Cabinet, chaired by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid
Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai,
adopted a number of strategic decisions with regards to foreign workers'
insurance in the private sector, as well as a legislative package of visa
facilitations.
A new insurance scheme for workers' guarantees has been
introduced. The previous mandatory deposit of Dh3,000 per worker is now
replaced by a new insurance that cost only Dh60 annually per worker.
The newly created scheme secures workers' rights in the private
sector and reduces the burdens on employers. It allows businesses to recover
approximately Dh14 billion, representing the value of current guarantees paid
by employers, which will enable them to further invest in the development of
their business. The system also enhances the ease of doing business in the UAE,
which effectively contributes to market prosperity and growth.

The new system aims to achieve a wider coverage of the rights
and entitlements for the workers. The value of the insurance policy in the new
system is AED 60 per year for each worker and covers the workers' entitlements
in terms of end of service benefits, vacation allowance, overtime allowance,
unpaid wages, worker's return ticket and cases of work injury, in which the
insurance coverage amounts to Dh 20,000 per worker.
The Cabinet also adopted a number of visa facilitations for
visitors, residents, families and people overstaying their visa to cater for a
wider segment of the society. The Cabinet approved a new legislative package,
including a review of the current residency system to allow a two-year
extension of the residency period for the dependents of their parents after
finishing their university studies.
A new decision has also been approved to exempt transit
passengers from all entry fees for the first 48 hours. Transit visa can be
extended for up to 96 hours for a fee of only Dh50. Obtaining transit visa will
be facilitated by a number of express counter at the passport-control hall
across UAE airports.
In the same context, the Cabinet adopted a decision to grant
people overstaying their visa a chance to leave the country voluntarily without
a "no entry" passport stamp. A new 6-month visa will be introduced
for job seekers who overstayed their visa but wish to work in the country. The
temporary visa enhances the UAE's position as a land of opportunities and a
destination for talents and professionals.
As for Individuals who entered the UAE illegally, they will have
the chance to leave voluntarily with a "no entry" stamp for two years
given that they provide a valid return ticket.
Equally, in a step aimed at simplifying the process and easing
the financial burden on individuals wishing to adjust or renew their visa, they
can now do so for a fee without having to leave and re-enter the country.
On the other hand, the Cabinet adopted a resolution on
empowering "People of Determination" and enabling them to access the
job market. The resolution provides them with the necessary support to obtain
equal employment opportunities in various sectors in line with the Government's
social development programs for all segments of the society.
In the same context, the Cabinet adopted the decision to host
the headquarters of the Asian Paralympic Committee in the UAE to serve as a
unique sports hub in Asia and to provide training courses and workshops for
"People of Determination".
In the regulatory affairs, the Cabinet approved the amendment of
the statutes of the Al Etihad Credit Bureau. It also adopted a draft law on the
adoption of the unified final account for the fiscal year 2017, and approved an
additional financial plan for the general budget of the Union for the fiscal
year 2018.
The Cabinet adopted an agreement between the Government of the
UAE and the Government of the Russian Federation on the mutual exemption of
visa requirements for citizens of the UAE and the citizens of the Russian
Federation, thus opening new horizons for mutual tourism, investment and trade.

the United Arab Emirates and the International Exhibitions Bureau on the
privileges and benefits accorded to official participants in Expo2020
The Cabinet ratified two agreements on air transport services
between the Government of the UAE and the Government The Republic of Guinea,
and the Government of the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis.
The Cabinet endorsed a number of agreements on the mutual

of the Republic of Rwanda, the Government of the Republic of Uganda and the
Government of the Republic of Colombia. As well as the endorsement of
