United Arab Emirates Virtual Working Programme: Renewal
What renewing the United Arab Emirates Virtual Working Programme involves, and where it leads long-term.
Issued for a one-year period, renewable annually by re-meeting the same eligibility criteria — including a fresh 6 consecutive months of bank statements each time, not a one-time check. If the visa lapses without renewal, a 60-day grace period applies before you'd need to reapply fresh, switch to a different visa category, or leave the UAE.
