The United Arab Emirates government is keen to honor its elderly expatriates and has introduced the 'Retirement in Dubai' program through the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing in Dubai. This initiative, which was intended for all retirees, is carried out in collaboration with the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, through which it allows expatriates above the age of fifty-five to obtain a long-term residency visa. The retiree, under this program, can acquire a five-year residency visa, which can be renewed upon meeting specified conditions
