Expats in the United Arab Emirates are required to pay an annual charge to maintain their right to reside and work in the country. This fee is paid electronically through the websites of the Ministry of the Interior. The penalties for missing the renewal deadline are severe.
Renewal fees for UAE residency are contingent on a variety of factors. Workers in the UAE pay less than workers in any other country to become permanent residents for themselves and their families.
Residency renewal fees differ not only by age but also by the number of dependents, with younger children incurring lower fees than their older counterparts.
