The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the countries Filipinos love to work in. A lot of Pinoy visitors in the UAE must obtain a tourist visa prior to travel unless they originate from one of the visa-exempted countries. Furthermore, a tourist will need a new visa when his/her tourist visa expires but, there have been reports that tourists can get a free Oman visa for Filipinos when they visit the UAE.
Those who have been wanting for a new UAE visa in-hand have a new way of getting one. There’s a new set of laws related to labor and visa which was approved by the cabinet of the current administration of the Gulf state.
