For Indian workers, the policy offers greater stability and confidence in navigating employment changes
The UAE has introduced extended grace periods for expatriates after job loss, offering significant relief to Indian workers who form a major part of the country’s workforce. The policy, announced within the last 24 hours, allows individuals more time to secure new employment without facing immediate visa cancellation.
Officials stated that the move aims to enhance labour market flexibility and reduce financial stress on workers. “Providing transition time supports both employees and employers,” policy experts observed.
Indian professionals have welcomed the change, noting improved job security and reduced urgency during employment transitions
Employers are also expected to benefit from a more stable workforce and smoother hiring processes.
The development reflects broader labour reforms in the Gulf aimed at attracting and retaining talent.
