The UAE will now begin accepting applications for multiple-entry tourist permits from Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022 fans. The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP) welcomed holders of the 'Hayya' card - a personalized document required by people to attend any World Cup matches - to the UAE in a statement issued on Tuesday. The FIFA World Cup will take place from November 20 until December 18. International Hayya cardholders can apply for a visa on the ICP website. They can search the website for 'visa for Hayya card holders,' enter their information and pay the fees. With the multi-entry tourist visa, World Cup fans can enter the Emirates several times within 90 days. The visa fee has also been reduced to a one-time charge of Dh100. It can be extended for another 90 days, with regular fees applied. BKM/ Expat Media
