In a move that brings relief to thousands of Indian expats, Dubai announced it will allow them to come back even if their residence visas have expired.
Also allowed to return were residence visa holders from Pakistan, Nepal, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, and Uganda. Anyone holding an expired Dubai residence visa now has time to return until November 10.
