Among them are tourist entry visas, gold and green residence permits, permits for truck drivers to enter through land ports, visas for citizens of neighboring countries, cruise ship workers and etc.

The Gulf News reported that “longer” visas for tourists, extension of green visa stay and an expanded 10-year golden visa scheme were the main innovations of the newly introduced rules. Now tourists can stay in the Emirates for 60 days instead of 30 as before.
