There’s a new announcement that’s going to make the good residents of the UAE very happy. Dubai residents and Emirati sponsors who have not committed any residency violations in the last decade will enjoy special privileges beginning 1 November.

- The sponsor must not have any recorded residency violations in the current year
Lt-Gen Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, GDRFA director-general, says, “Security and safety are the cornerstone for realising the UAE’s vision of a happy and sustainable society. The ‘Ideal Face’ initiative highlights individuals who comply with the laws and represent the UAE’s bright image. It also encourages everyone to adopt positive behaviour and contribute to achieving stability and security.”
