not affecting businesses
Posted by paul at 12:01 UAE time
This will not affect the majority of those who are reading this, since it is directed at unskilled workers.
But I still don't really see the point. We have seen much in the media recently regarding labour camps, with some blame put on the workers themselves for the hygiene practices they bought from their own country. If this is the case, then surely over time such labourers would become more educated in keeping their camps in better condition, as well as gaining more experience in their jobs. I just don't see why the government would want to increase employee churn rates, when long serving experienced workers is what businesses can most benefit from.

6 years residency limit
Posted by julia at 17:50 UAE time
property buyers will hesitate to invest.
also business men will not invest in business if they have to leave after 6 years.
for employees and workers in factory - utility companies -hotels- banks etc- if the employees have to be turned over every 6 years-
it will make them inefficient.
experienced workers - even unskilled are more valueable.
this requies lot of debate and further research before giving decision

uae residency cap
Posted by jv at 10:04 UAE time
if this is a way of making money then just ask all expats to pay a fixed amount every 6 years. In effect, the uae will permanently have unskilled labour because, as soon as they learn and become effective, they have to leave.

Al - Baby..it gains still
Posted by Kaptain at 12:08 UAE time
It gains from visa processing fees and procedures.
A normal residency visa for Asian costs around upto 8000 Dirhams. Just imagine the exodus of the same labourers of which many would return again, with the power of AED 8K.
So Governments never lose anything.

6 years = valuable experience
Posted by Al Baby at 12:54 UAE time
This doesn't make any sense to me. Why would the UAE want to bring in unskilled workers, train them, give them valuable experience, and then once they are trained and experienced, force them to leave and replace them once again with more unskilled workers. How does the country gain from doing this?
