  • Rent housing
  • Use local mobile communications

Emirates ID in the UAE is issued for 2 years with the right of further extension.

To maintain UAE residency status, a foreign national must visit the country at least once every six months. Leaving the UAE for more than six months results in automatic loss of residency status.

There is no requirement for permanent residence in the UAE under the immigration laws of the country.
