Doing This at Road Accident Sites in Abu Dhabi Can Land you in Jail or Fined of up to AED 150,000

Road accidents are among the top causes of deaths in the UAE. It is for this reason that authorities are expanding their measures to effectively address this situation and to limit the cases of deaths due to accidents on the road.

Furthermore, another issue that authorities have looked into is their emergency response system, which could spell life or death for victims of accidents. It is, therefore, crucial for responders to get right on the scene of the accident, or to transport victims to medical facilities as efficiently as they can.

Posting Photos of Accidents Could Land You in Jail or Fined AED 150K in Abu Dhabi

Owing to this, the government has reiterated that posting photographs or videos of accidents in the UAE on social media sites could lead to jail and a fine of up to AED150,000 ($40,800) under the country’s cybercrime law, as shared in a report by the Arabian Business.

Furthermore, anyone found obstructing or blocking roads near accidents sites may be dealt with an AED 1,000 ($270) fine.

In line with this, the Ministry of Interior (MoI) has issued warnings on social media and said that the circulation of accident images “is deemed an irresponsible behaviour among citizens, which violates a person’s privacy and human dignity. It is also a violation of the law”.

The ministry added, “Taking pictures of accident scenes and sharing them online is against the UAE’s values derived from the Islamic concept of tolerance.”

For their part, the police pointed out that not only do people crowding around crash sites cause extra stress for those involved, they also hinder emergency services attending to the scene.

According to Brigadier Khalifa Mohammed Al Khaili, director of traffic patrols at Abu Dhabi Police, “Crowding and taking photos at accident sites could delay the work of traffic patrols, ambulances and civil defence vehicles, which will result in worsening the condition of the injured or may even cause fatalities.”

Al Khaili called this as “uncivilized behaviour”, and reminded all residents to consider the consequences of their actions, which may endanger their lives as well as the lives of others.

The reminder should be taken to heart, as it’s common to find passers-by crowding accident sites, and even making it difficult for authorities and medical personnel to render help to those who were involved, and may be in a serious condition.

Why is the UAE Pension Fund Necessary for Expats?

Why is the UAE Pension Fund Necessary for Expats?

Working overseas can be tricky for expats because aside from paying taxes, they also need to pick or set up their pension funds either in their host country or homeland, looking ahead into their retirement, which is always a sound plan for any working individual.

However, as the decision to set up one’s own pension fund can be quite tedious to do by oneself, does joining the state pension fund, say, for those living in the UAE, advisable or important at all?

Why is the UAE Pension Fund Necessary for Expats?

UAE Pension Fund: Is it Necessary for Expats ?

While the Gulf country has earlier announced that it will enhance and improve the end-of-service gratuity scheme, there is still a need for the UAE to set up a pension fund for expats according to experts, as shared in a report by the Khaleej Times.

According to Barney Almazar, a director at Gulf Law, this is particularly important in the case of the UAE, where around 90 percent of the workforce is composed of expatriates.

Almazar explained that for an employee working in his or her own country where the employer is mandated to contribute to one’s social security services, the employee may rely on the state for healthcare benefits.

However, this is not the case for expats – unless the person opts to contribute voluntarily to his home country pension fund – there is no secured source of income after retirement.

“In this regard, a viable framework is geared towards prefunding. The company and the employee can both contribute to a retirement fund, including post-employment healthcare coverage,” Almazar pointed out.

He further said, “As majority of the workforce are expats, relevant investment and portability provisions should be in place, giving the employee the ability to manage their individual ‘savings’ accounts. This also minimises the risk of employers not having set aside enough money to pay for the promised benefits.”

However, legal experts, financial analysts and medical professions also emphasized that gratuities should not be considered as “a nice exit bonus” because these are way below enough to cover an employee’s retirement expenses.

For his part, Prasanth Manghat, CEO and executive director of NMC Health, said: “Majority of UAE residents depend on their end-of-service gratuity payment to fund their retirement, and the new system stands to help fund the retirement gap between the gratuity payment and retirement costs. Such plans would also provide support for an individual’s healthcare needs during his or her twilight years.”

In line with this, a mandatory pension fund will be ideal and the management of the fund must be transparent to ensure sustainability in the future, Almazar noted.

In a nutshell, expats need to invest for their retirement for the following reasons:

  1. Longer years of service – medical advancements supporting increased retirement age and years of service will assure expats to benefit from retirement and end-of-service benefits.
  2. No secured source of income or social coverage – unless the person opts to contribute voluntarily to his home country pension fund – there is no secured source of income after retirement in a foreign country.
  3. Rising healthcare costs – medical services are constantly on the rise. Therefore, having healthcare coverage through a pension fund will prove to be a big help financially during an expat’s twilight years.

UAE Lands in Top 10 Best Countries for Expats Worldwide

In all of its efforts to improve the people’s quality of life through innovation, diversity, and tolerance, the UAE has positioned itself among the most popular countries pursued by expat in terms of work, living conditions, and overall appeal.

And while there are so many great places an expat can be in the world, the high number of foreign nationals going to the UAE is a testament of how progressive and ideal the UAE is for residence and employment among expats coming from all parts of the world.

UAE Lands in Top 10 Best Countries for Expats Worldwide

UAE Claims 9th Place in World’s Best Countries for Expats – Survey

This phenomenon has been duly confirmed when the Gulf state has been ranked among the world’s top 10 countries to live and work in for expatriates, according to the annual expat report by HSBC, as shared in a report by Gulf Business.

The country placed ninth for 2019, up by a spot from last year’s ranking.

Career progression, financial security, and a great place to raise a family were cited as the biggest positives by expats living in the UAE, according to HSBC’s expat explorer survey.

Of note, up to 62 percent of millennial expats cited career progression as a key reason for relocating – 15 points above the global average.

Furthermore, around 35 percent of millennial expats shared that their move had resulted in quicker promotions compared to their home country, while the salary uplift they get in the UAE is the highest globally, with the average young executive adding 51 percent to their annual income – more than any other age group.

According to the report, the top-most financial priorities for UAE expats were saving and investing for retirement (82 percent), children’s education (47 percent), and property (43 percent), which create an ideal environment for settling down and/or raising a family.

Marwan Hadi, head of Retail Banking and Wealth Management, HSBC UAE, noted: “While earning potential and career growth are what bring people here, it’s the improved quality of life and safe environment that keep them here for good.”

Accordingly, the report also revealed that up to 83 percent of expats who relocated to the UAE expressed that they feel safer and more secure than in their home country, compared to 48 percent of movers globally.

Interestingly, the survey also revealed that almost half of the expats living in the country plan to stay long. Since moving to the UAE, 46 per cent of all UAE expats expect to stay for five to over 10 years.

The survey was completed by 18,059 expats from 163 countries and territories through an online questionnaire posted between February and March 2019.

UAE Police Caution Residents Against Heatstroke

In the Middle East, environmental temperatures can be one of the most challenging adjustments, which expats and even some residents have difficulty dealing with even today.

Because of this, many governments in the region have issued a ban for employees whose work requires them to remain under the sun for a long time, in consideration of the dangers staying under prolonged heat could cause to their health. In the UAE, extreme temperatures recorded could reach up to 60 degrees, which is extremely hot for some nationalities who come from colder parts of the world.

UAE Police Caution Residents Against Heatstroke

Heatstroke Warning in Extreme Weather Issued by UAE Police

In the UAE, the Abu Dhabi Police issued a summer warning on Tuesday (July 2), urging residents to remain hydrated and to stay in the shade as much as possible, as shared in a report by the Khaleej Times.

The reminder issued comes from the Directorate of Emergency and Public Safety at the Abu Dhabi Police’s Central Operations Sector, in recognition of the dangers of heatstroke, as the summer heat peaks in the region.

In line with the department’s ‘Have a Safe Summer’ campaign, the police advised people to avoid long periods of direct sun exposure as this may lead to heatstroke, which can be fatal if not treated right away.

Heatstroke, also known as sunstroke, is a medical condition in which the body is unable to control its temperature due to exposure to extreme weather conditions.

According to the police, the condition may progressively worsen and damage the brain cells or internal organs, such as the heart or kidneys.

“The temperature of the body may reach 41 degrees Celsius. The symptoms of sunstroke may include nausea, rapid heartbeat, muscle spasm, hallucinations and disorientation, lack of sweating despite high fever, loss of consciousness and fainting,” the police said.

In line with this, all residents were advised to drink enough water, wear loose and light clothing, and limit their stay in open spaces.

In previous years, authorities have recorded cases of heatstroke, due to prolonged exposure under direct sunlight and failing to drink enough water.

The authorities also shared these important tips to help those suffering from heat exhaustion, or emergency cases of heatstroke:

  • Transfer the patient to a cooler place, preferably under the shade with good ventilation.
  • Remove any restricting or unnecessary tight clothing and give them a cool shower and cold drinks, if they are conscious.
  • If a person is unconscious, make sure that they can breathe without any difficulty. They may be put in the recovery position (sideways), with ice packs placed in the armpits, groin and on the neck.
  • Immediately dial 999 and seek medical help and assistance from relevant authorities. Give accurate descriptions of the victim, as well as the first aid or steps done to provide help to them.
  • Stay with the patient until the ambulance arrives.

UAE Offers Full Ownership to Foreign Investors in 122 Sectors

As the UAE government takes its a society in the direction where people are more accepting and tolerant of others, especially towards foreign nationals in the country, as capped by the recent move by the government to offer permanent residence status to expats that have made significant contributions in the society through their years of stay in the country, new measures are still being developed to help boost the country’s economic activities – again, through the aid of interested foreign investors.

The decision can be regarded as the country entirely opening up to the rest of the world to welcome and achieve globalization within its own domain and conditions.

Investors Can Now Fully Own Businesses in 122 Sectors in UAE

On this regard, the UAE government once again made another historic announcement on Tuesday (July 2), as it offered 100 percent foreign ownership in 122 economic sectors, as shared in a report by WAM.

The announcement was made by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai via his official Twitter page on June 2.

A total of 122 economic activities across 13 sectors were identified to become eligible for up to 100 percent foreign ownership such as renewable energy, space, agriculture, and manufacturing industry, among others.

The decision presents investors an opportunity to acquire various shares in a number of economic activities including the production of solar panels, power transformers, green technology, and hybrid power plants.

Other areas opened to foreign ownership include hospitality and food services, information and communications, as well as professional, scientific and technical activities, thereby allowing for ownership in laboratories for research and development in biotechnology. The list also includes administrative services, support services, educational activities, healthcare, art and entertainment, and construction.

In his tweet, Sheikh Mohammed announced, “Today, I chaired a session of the Council of Ministers in Abu Dhabi, during which we adopted a resolution allowing 100 percent foreign ownership in UAE’s 122 economic sectors – giving foreigners 100 per cent ownership of their investment. Sectors include agriculture, manufacturing, renewable energy, e-commerce, transportation, arts, construction, entertainment among others.”

The decision further strengthens expats’ hold on the country’s economy alongside the new visa scheme implemented by the government creating new opportunities for foreign nationals to take part in the growth and development of the UAE’s economy across a wide range of industries, both established and being developed at the moment.

Where technology is cultivated in places like the UAE, residents can expect new innovations that would benefit them in processes that could further be enhanced by digital applications, or in some cases, even artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

And as the UAE government aims to promote the country as a global nation where both residents and guests can enjoy convenient living through the aid of digital processes and systems, sectors such as retail, aviation, and financing, where information processing can easily be transitioned to digital technology, are most likely to benefit the most.

‘Passport-Free’ Travel to be adopted by Dubai Airports

In line with this, Dubai Airports and the Emirates airline are testing plans to replace traditional passport and paper travel documents with biometrics and face recognition, which is expected to significantly increase the ease and speed by which passengers can move quickly from check-in to their aircraft seat, as shared in a report by the Arabian Business.

The new system, which is known as ‘One ID’ has already undergone trial on flights between London and Dubai, and further trials will be held on flights between Dubai and Australia later this year.

According to Dubai Airports CEO Paul Griffiths, “We ran a trial between London Gatwick and Dubai… and we’re now trying to expand that.”

Griffiths added that the trial confirmed the feasibility of the new technology, in which the idea of a single identity applied in different locations works, and that it can be adopted to work globally.

The One ID system will be used across check-in desks, passport control counters, duty-free shops, airport lounges and boarding queues.

“The vision for One ID is a paperless travel experience where passengers can fly around the world safely and securely using only their individual biometric data. This will be achieved using a trusted digital identity, biometric recognition technology, and a collaborative identity management platform accessible to various authorised stakeholders,” explained IATA Director General and CEO, Alexandre de Juniac.

Furthermore, a Dubai Airports spokesperson confirmed that the One ID trials will begin later this year.

At present, the Dubai International Airport holds the title of the world’s busiest international airport and last year its annual traffic surpassed 89.1 million. The airport also managed to reduce waiting times by 28 percent, a feat reportedly achieved thanks to the airport’s introduction of smart gates and an advanced operations centre.

Visas for Dependent Sons Over 18 Years Can Now be Renewed in UAE

dependent visa 18 Y.O. uae

Coming of age in most parts of the world is an important transition that families look forward to. But for quite some time for expat families in the UAE, this meant having to pay a deposit of AED 5,000 for the visa application of their dependents reaching 18 years old.

However, all that will be a thing of the past, as the government will no longer require parents or guardians to file for their dependents’ visa application on humanitarian appeal. Instead, eligible applicants will be allowed to renew their residency visa for up to two consecutive years, minus the previous requirement of a deposit, which is no small thing for any person with a family living in the city.

UAE Grants Visa Renewals for Dependent Sons Above 18 Years

In an update from the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, residents of the UAE can now renew the residency visas of their 18-year-old dependent sons, whether they are secondary school or university graduates, for up to two consecutive years, as shared in a report by Gulf News.

The residence permit, in effect, will be valid for a year and can be renewed for an additional year.

This benefit will be available from the date of completion of secondary education of dependent sons, or those who have just graduated university, or those reaching the age of 18 years.

Meanwhile, the authority noted that daughters will remain on their parents’ visa without any age limit until they get married.

Application for the said benefit can be done through all the residency and naturalization offices or other government-approved outlets for a fee of AED 100 for residency permits or their renewal for a year.

Eligible residents can submit supporting documents by attaching the certificate of general secondary education or graduation certificate or the information from the university where the son studied, whether inside or outside the UAE, duly certified by his alma mater.

Also of note, there will be no more tourist visa fees to be charged for dependents below 18 years of age who are accompanied by their parents to the UAE.

Tourists can take advantage of the new scheme between July 15 and September 15 of each year.

According to the authority, these facilities include those below 18 provided that they are accompanied by a parent, regardless of the length of the validity of the parent’s visa.

Eligible applicants may apply through the authority’s electronic channels or via its smart application ICA UAE e-channels.

[UAE Labour Law] Guide to Working Hours, Official Leaves, and Vacations

labour law work hours, leaves in uae

Thinking of living and building your career in the UAE? You have to understand that labour laws in your country may not necessarily be the same when you move in other places such as the UAE.

It is for this reason that we need to have a basic understanding of some of the laws concerning work in the UAE, such as those that deal with working hours, official heaves, and vacations, to name a few.

[Guide] Things to Know About Working Hours, Official Leaves, and Vacations in the UAE

In this post, we will share some of the basic and useful guidelines as outlined by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), formerly known as the Ministry of Labour.

Any type of job or legal work involves regular working hours, official leaves, and vacations. In the private sector, here is what the UAE Labour Law provides concerning these matters:

Working Hours

  • Regular work hours for employees is 8 hours per day or 48 hours per week (Article 65).
  • The work hours may be increased to 9 hours per day for businesses, cafés, and hotels – but this will require the approval from the MoHRE.
  • Working for more than 7 hours in a day is not allowed among jobs that require “heavy physical labour.”
  • Any job that demands working beyond prescribed working hours may be subject to overtime pay, itemized as follows:
    • Overtime pay should be equal to the rate for regular working hours, and an additional 25% of that amount. This may be increased up to 50% if overtime work was done between 9 pm and 4 am.
    • Regular work hours are reduced by two hours per day during Ramadan.

Official Leaves and Vacations    

  • In the UAE, Friday is the official weekend for employees, except for daily wage earners.
  • In the instance where a job requires overtime work on a Friday, the pay must be equal to the rate for regular working hours, and an additional increase of not less than 50% of that amount.

Public Holidays and Paid Leaves

Employees are entitled to paid leaves on public holidays listed below:

  • Hijri New Year (1 day)
  • Gregorian New Year (1 day)
  • Eid Al Fitr (2 days)
  • Waqfa Day and Eid Al Adha (3 days)
  • The Prophet Mohammed’s Birthday (1 day)
  • Ascension Day (1 day)
  • Martyr’s Day (1 day)
  • National Day (1 day)

Note: Other holidays not included in the above list would depend on official announcements released by concerned authorities. To get updates on upcoming public holiday announcements, be sure to check with official news sources to get alerts regarding this matter.

Annual Leaves, Sick Leaves, and Special Leaves

Outside public holidays, employees are entitled to annual paid leaves, sick leaves, and special leaves. Based on the UAE Labour Law, the provisions for these leaves are as follows:

  • Employees are granted two paid leaves for each month, provided that they have rendered a minimum service period of six (6) months and a maximum of one (1) year.
  • Annual leave of 30 days; provided that the employee has completed one (1) year of service.
  • Sick leave of not more than 90 days (3 months) per year, subject to the provisions specified in the law:
    • First 15 days – full payment
    • Succeeding 30 days – half pay
    • Remaining 45 days – no pay
  • Special leave of not more than 30 days, specifically for the performance of Hajj. Special leave is without pay, and is only granted once throughout the worker’s years of service.

Understanding these things will better equip for your journey in your career in the UAE. Remember though that updates may be released every now and then so be sure to check with the official authority in the UAE, the MoHRE, for concerns or questions that you may have regarding these matters.
