BIG News: UAE is now giving Citizenship to Foreigners

[Abu Dhabi]

There are a few rules i am sure 99% of our brothers on this website will cover, however, being Proficent in Arabic might be a struggle for most. However, like the guy in the YT clip mentioned and i agree with him, these rules will be more relaxed over time.

Also, this is exactly what the UAE needs. For the people here working hard to have something to look forward to. Stability and chances !

what do you guys think ? good step ?

You know well, Dubai is build by Arab-Iranians and then comes Pakistani. We deserve more then any other nationality.

No more will it be UAE, it will be United South Asians.

I think nationality is wrong idea...

It is a risk, it would be like America giving citizenship to 100 million South Americans and not expectin South Americans to gain power.

UAE leadership need to rethink immediately - if this policy gets/got the go-ahead - how will the country look in 20/30 years.

Not Strictly Emiratis of Iranian background and pakistanis , but yes , they did play a great part in building Dubai.

I am a first generation Emirati. My grandfather moved to Dubai from Yemen 5 years before the UAE came to be, and he brought with him my grandmother and all his kids (my dad being one of them of course). They lived on the creek in an old barjeel local house. Most of my fathers friends were Emiratis with Iranian/Balochi/Pakistani/Indian and Bedouin backgrounds. I played with their kids as we grew up. All lovely people.

It will look like South Asia. All the Arabs will move to KSA with their wealth leaving another failed state.

Just because they now hand out citizenships doesn’t mean they won’t stop rounding up & deporting anyone they want out.

 

[Clutch]

It's only for Israeli Jews. Just fyi...

 

[Abu Dhabi]

Oh come on ! you guys are being a bit over the top dramatic ! I am sure it will be a calculated process.

I think both the UAE government and Emiratis want the same thing. We want to grow 50 folds in the next 30 years. This is quite impossible with SUCH a low Emirati population. 1 million Emiratis, less than half at working age. We don't want to walk, run, jump. We want to fly. This cannot be achieved unless we bring in people from all over the world who meet the criteria
