UAE: Expats to get up to 180-day grace period after losing job

Expats who have lost their job in the UAE will soon be able to stay up to six months in the country as part of the leadership’s new reforms announced on Sunday.

The UAE law currently allows employees, who have been made redundant, to leave the country within 30 days. But the authorities are relaxing the grace period and would allow people to stay from three to six months after losing the job.
