UAE may raise income requirement for bringing families

  • United Arab Emirates: Wednesday, December 31 - 2008 at 11:11

Workers may need to earn more to bring their families to the UAE, under a new proposal by the UAE's Federal National Council, the state news agency WAM reported yesterday. The council has recommended that expatriates should be able to move their families over only if they earn at least Dhs10,000 ($2,722) a month, rather than the Dhs4,000 now required. Those that have been provided with accommodation should earn at least Dhs8,000 a month, according to the recommendations. The changes are to be submitted to the Council of Ministers for ratification.
