Those who wish to continue residing in Dubai after regularising their status can follow up with the emirate. “If they wish to remain in the country and obtain a job opportunity in the Emirate of Dubai, they can follow up on amending their status with Dubai Residency, regardless of their file with the other emirates,” the statement added.
This directive comes as part of the ongoing amnesty programme, which aims to assist overstayers in regularising their status and either leaving the country or securing employment opportunities.
