Furthermore, the period will also coincide with the one-year visa extension given to women who have been widowed or divorced, as well as their children.
The visa extension for widows and divorced women aims to give women the opportunity to adjust their social and economic status.
The UAE Cabinet said the decision takes into consideration the humanitarian conditions of widows and divorcees and facilitates their stay in the UAE after the loss of spouse.
"The decision grants widows and divorced women and their children a one-year residence without the need for a sponsor," the Cabinet said.
"It aims to give women the opportunity to adjust their social and economic status."
The humanitarian visa initiatives are part of the UAE's ongoing efforts to help foreigners in need, as well as supporting some of the world's most vulnerable people, while strengthening the country's position as a second homeland for people from all walks of life.
