Sponsorship and Medical for my husband
Hello! I'm relocating to Abu Dhabi from the USA with my husband in three months. We are moving for my job. I understand I can't sponsor his visa and therefore his insurance given UAE rules. We aren't set on him getting a full time job so it's possible he won't have an employer to sponsor his visa. Is it common to repeatedly do a 30 day (plus 30 day extension) tourist visa for him? Are there any health insurance options for him?
I'll be working for a large global company so I find it hard to believe that my company can't work out something to sponsor his visa.
If any of you ladies are working and your husband isn't, please let me know what you've done. I'd really appreciate any insight. Also, if any of you own your own business I have lots of other questions on my husband's behalf. :)
Thank you!
UPDATE: I spoke with the Abu Dhabi Government. I am able to apply for a [b]Non-employment Residency Permit Issuance for Individuals Sponsored by an Expatriate[/b]. This looks to be our solution (I hope) until we decide what he is going to do permanently. Also, from what I've read the 30 day extension for the tourist visa isn't agreeable as a long term solution and paying the monthly 30 day tourist visa fee plus the monthly in/out flight is cost prohibitive.
