Will my wife's UAE visa renewal be affected after divorce if her husband hasn't canceled it yet?
Q: Dear Lawyers, My friend and her husband recently went through a divorce in Dubai Courts. However, her husband didn’t cancel her visa and proceeded with the renewal, agreeing to her pleas to stay longer in the UAE. He assured her he would only cancel her visa once she secures a new sponsor or job. She has completed her Emirates ID and medical test typing as of now. Is there a chance the visa renewal will be revoked or rejected, or will it proceed automatically since no divorce papers have been issued or applied after the court judgment? Thank you!
