Previously, children born to local women and foreign men could only apply for Emirati citizenship when they turn 18. However, this did not apply to sons and daughters of local men and foreign women as their children would receive citizenship at birth.
Emirati mums married to non-citizens could also apply for citizenship on the behalf of their offspring after showing proof of the child residing in the UAE for at least 6 years.
However, the President’s new directive changes all of that.
