Speaking to the regional media on Tuesday, the Minister of Labour and Social Affairs for the United Arab Emirates, Dr Ali Bin Abdullah Al Ka'abi revealed that certain expatriates working in the UAE with "extensive and specialised experience" may be able to secure exemption from the provision, announced late last month, which prevents the renewal of work permits for expats over the age of 60.
The Labour and Social Affairs Minister told Gulf News that certain professional expat workers between the ages of 60 and 70 will be permitted to renew their work permits on a yearly basis, albeit at a high cost.
Citing consultants, executive directors, university professors, airline pilots and experts in particular fields as likely candidates for exemption, Dr Al Ka'abi went on to add:
"But do not expect me to approve requests for a sales manager or a school teacher or similar jobs. These are not specialised professionals. Exemptions will cover only experts in specialised fields and again they have to pay high fees."
