People coming to the UAE to work will need to obtain a "good conduct and behaviour certificate" from their home country.
The requirement will be mandatory from February 4.
According to WAM, the UAE state news agency, the "Co-ordination Committee to execute Cabinet Resolution No (1/8#) for 2017" said the certificate should be issued from the applicants home country or the country of their residency for the past five years.
It must also be certified by the UAEs missions abroad or attested at customer happiness centres of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation.
The committee said the requirement was only mandatory for people working in the UAE and not their dependents or family members.
The certificate is not required for tourists.
RACIST!!!!!!!
Actually it is an interesting idea. If you want to work in the UAE, your residency country has to affirm that you are a good citizen. Combine this with eVerify and we have a workable worker program.
Yes it is. The UAE is very pragmatic with their immigration policies because the majority of the population (85%/) is non-Emirati. Of course pragmatic and what is good for the country is not in the liberal/democrat playbook.
Quick! Issue a Good Conduct” award to everyone we want to get rind of Like other countries will do.
lots of countries insist on police reports saying you have no criminal behavior, and some visas for working or for student visas require letters of recommendation from clergy or teachers to say you have no major behavior problems. they also need health clearance: chest X rays, lab work, etc.
Yep, plus that have to already have a job lined up before they are allowed in the country.
