Recent proposed changes to UAE law relating to the sponsorship system will result in a more flexible labour market, but it is unlikely to lead to the abolition of the system any time soon, say experts.
According to Alexander McGeoch, Head/Employment & General Legal Services at Hadef & Partners, Dubai, the impact of the easing of certain restriction on switching sponsors may not be as big as some employees are hoping for.
“It is doubtful whether, in the UAE, we will see greatly increased flexibility in the sponsorship transfer process – still less the complete abolition of the ‘sponsor’ requirement – either this year or in the foreseeable future,” he told Emirates 24|7.
