Can I still visit the UK if my UAE work visa expires shortly after I enter?
My UAE work visa is about to expire on September 30 of this year, but my UK tourist visa is still valid until November. Can I still travel to the UK in September?
Best Answer
It could be a problem. You were given the visa when you had a job to go back to in UAE. Without the job there, border control in UK might decide you are likely to look for work in UK and refuse to allow you entry. But this is not certain and depends on your overall circumstances and landing interview.

Free grace periodA complementary 10 day grace period is given only to 30 days on arrival visitors and prepaid visa visitors. The 90 days on arrival visitors don't get a 10 day grace period because they get a multiple entry visa that is valid for a span of 6 months and permits a total stay of 90 days in UAE.Overstay more than 6 months | Visa Expired | Full Information with Link | UAE Re-entry Visa
