Rights and Obligations of the Holder of a UAE Residence Permit

With more and more expatriates embracing the United Arab Emirates as their home and shifting to the UAE with their families, many non-citizens in the UAE live as long-term residents of the country. Apart from the earning members of the family who live in the country on employment visas and individuals on long-term visas such as the golden visa, most UAE residents live in the country as dependents on the employment or long-term visa holders. Therefore, questions often arise as to the status of these dependents when the main visa is cancelled.
