Multiple entry visit visas would be granted to expatriate property owners in the United Arab Emirates that would enable them up to stay six months at a time.

A Nova Scotia woman, Nicole Stroop-Gillis, 34, was detained in Dubai, for being drunk and behaving aggressively with an airport official during a stopover in the Middle Eastern country.

On October 1, Gillis was traveling from Kandahar Airfield, where she was working as a civilian supply technician. Her destination was South Africa, where she was flying to meet her boyfriend, and in between her trip she was supposed to stop in Dubai for 15 hours. She has also been accused for showing disrespect toward a male security official during the stop.

During the month of July, a Briton named Mark Winterbottom created a big scene while boarding an Emirates flight at the Dubai airport when he claimed that the flight was carrying a bomb. His suggestions were taken seriously and the aircraft was thoroughly checked for any sort of explosives but none were found.

The 37 year old, who was also drunk, even got into an argument with an Emirates’s crew member. Now in September when his case was heard in court, he has been sentenced to four months' jail and fined 1,000 dirhams (£152), for the nuisance he created at the airport.
