    Note:

    Any other type of residences visa which is not sponsored by any of ADIB group companies is not eligible for this Reimbursement such as but not limited to Golden visa.

    In case of visa changes, the insurance needs to be updated to avoid violations against the employee and/or ADIB. Below are examples of visa changes:

    • Visa issuance location
    • Change from family to ADIB visa
    • Change between ADIB subsidiaries
    • Change from ADIB group visa to Golden visa
    • Cancelling visa for employees
