UAE Doubles Bank-Statement Requirement for Remote Working Visa Applications
From 27 January 2026, Remote Working Visa applicants must show six—rather than three—months of consecutive bank statements, effectively proving at least half a year of stable overseas employment. The tougher rule is meant to strengthen compliance and screen out short-term or newly self-employed applicants. Companies that deploy digital nomads to the UAE should build in extra lead time and ensure salary deposits are consistent.
