permanent resident in dubai

MARRIAGE:

yes you can obtain, kindly start searching for a hot emarati lady to get married and you will get a visa as well as citizenship absolutely free free free.

You cant really become a permanent resident in Dubai that easily. You first have to get ur work or student visa then go step by step it will take years. There is no citizen ship unless ur a local(emarati) / married to a local(emarati) / if ur local(emarati).

Your residence visa will be for 2 years if working fo the private sector and for 3 years if working for the public sector, Residence visas are renewable as long asyou keep a job.

To become a "permanent" resident you would have lived in the UAE for years and have an honrorable sponsor who may apply for the same on your behalf.

Your chances to gain citizenship are close to nil unless you are a woman married to a local.

@TT: to own a business doesn't mean permanent residence. Talk to Iranian business owners who didn't get their visas renewed for political reasons.

@ SAS: An employer might reward a loyal worker who has made a major contribution to the company over many years by providing him with a work and residence permit of indefinite duration. After his retirement, however, the employer would have to be a figure of considerable influence to maintain this gift and satisfy the labour authorities. In this case, the employee wouldn’t be a citizen, but be allowed to remain in the country indefinitely.

If i purchasea house in Dubai, will i get permanent visa for dubai?

Its a little complicated, some property does give u that right, some doesnt, many new buildings being built, the sheikhs that are selling property are arranging PR for the purchaser too. So it seems possible but you do need to do your research. Make sure u ask this question clearly, before signing the dotted line. Answer is "YES & NO, depending upon few factors". But keep in mind, that most property give u residence (that of course includes work without permit allowed) visa for 3 years (renewable). After six years stay on that visa u automatically are entitled for Permanent residence.

If u havent been to UAE (Dubai) then UAE is most advanced arab country, it is of course a muslim country, but dont worry much, its not like KSA or Kuwait, the example given above comes from KSA (they are different creed) not from UAE. I have been to UAE several times myself & know how things go there.
