Dubai prepares for four sweeping mobility changes as residency grace, school closures and flight bans are lifted in early April
From 1–3 April 2026 Dubai will: 1) restore normal residency-permit rules as the grace period expires, 2) reopen all schools for face-to-face teaching, 3) see Air France and Turkish Airlines resume services while others stay suspended, and 4) enforce app-based banking authentication. HR, travel and finance teams should brief staff and ensure visa validity, flight bookings and mobile-banking apps are in order.
