3. New retiree law

The UAE Cabinet last Sunday approved a law that would allow expatriates to stay on in the country long after they retire, if they meet certain conditions. Social media users applauded the decision and shared their personal experiences on online platforms.

@hamid_amin: “Hello Sir. @HHShkMohd thank you and your cabinet for approving retiree law. My Father has been in the #UAE for 50 years. No more worry to build house and life somewhere else. Thank you for that. He wishes to remain here and continue contributing to this society. God bless #UAE”
