One important UAE New Visa Categories pertains to AI specialists. The government places great emphasis on the growing importance of AI in every sector.

The UAE New Visa Categories speak of the country’s aspiration toward a knowledge economy. Skilled workers in domains of AI will be given opportunities suited to their own skills. They will be able to work with the universities, the private sector, as well as government agencies.
