United Arab Emirates (UAE) has always fascinated travellers around the world. Now travelling to UAE would become much easier, as the country has decided to issue a multiple-entry tourist visa scheme for all nationalities.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Monday announced that the tourist visa in the UAE will be issued for five years from now.
Previously, the tourist visas were valid for only 30 to 90 days. But now, tourist of any nationality can have the benefit of a five-year visa.
This step was taken in order to boost the tourism economy in the country and to lure travellers from all around the world to gulf countries. The government is also trying to convert gulf countries into a global tourist destination.
