What are the UAE’s new visa rules?

On Monday the UAE Cabinet announced one of the biggest overhauls to the UAE's visa system in years.

They dig into the expansion of the popular golden visa programme; what the new green visa scheme is for high-skilled workers; and why it is now easier for job-seekers and investors to come in and out of the country.
