Obtain a residency visa so that you can lawfully continue living in the UAE.

A resident visa or permit is a type of visa that confirms the legitimacy of an expat to remain in any emirate of the country for a set amount of time subject to the immigration regulations of the UAE. This type of visa may be issued in the form of either a visa or a permit. The residency status is awarded based on a variety of conditions established by the government, such as business, investment, tourism, or academic pursuits; these factors, taken individually, each decide the type of visa and the length of time it is valid for.
