UAE authority all set to implement visa reforms | ZAWYA MENA Edition:

The Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) is all set to implement the visa reforms decisions approved by the UAE Cabinet in May and June. Following a meeting of the authority's board of directors, the ICA said it was "fully prepared" to launch visas for talented individuals, and approve a legislative package to review the current residency system.

In May, the Cabinet had adopted a 10-year visa scheme for talented individuals. And in June, the Cabinet okayed a new legislative package, including a review of the current residency system to allow a two-year residency extension for students after finishing their university studies.

The board has approved plans and methods for implementing the Cabinet's decisions in the specified time period.
