Earlier, there was a law in the UAE emirates, including Dubai, that one had to leave the country if one wanted to renew a visa or change to another visa in the country. This law was suspended during the outbreak of Kovid-19. Due to the fact that the lockdown has been announced due to the strong spread of covid and the countries of the world have stopped the flight services, it is impossible to leave the country. This was a very comforting step for the expatriates. A huge financial burden has been spared for the expatriates.

Even though the spread of Covid-19 has decreased and travel restrictions have ended, authorities have continued to allow renewal of visit visas within the country. Then, last month, the old condition of going out of the country to renew the visa was re-implemented. But despite other emirates re-implementing the law, Dubai continued the old practice, much to the relief of expatriates. With Dubai also enforcing the law, that route is also closed to expatriates.
With the re-introduction of the law, fares for bus and plane tickets to neighboring countries have skyrocketed. Not only that, there is also a situation where tickets are not available on the intended dates. The cheapest way is to go to Oman by bus, but tickets are available only weeks later.

Many people whose visa date is about to expire are in a situation where they cannot wait for the ticket like this. Expats are going to Bahrain and Kuwait to change their visa status by paying more because they have to pay huge fines for each day they stay in the country beyond the visit visa date.
