What are the rules for Emirati federal employees seeking sabbatical leave for self-employment?

The UAE’s Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) has set three conditions for federal employees applying for sabbatical leave to pursue self-employment: (1) The employee must be a UAE national; (2) they must obtain approval from their respective federal entity; and (3) the business venture should align with the country's economic priorities. This initiative aims to empower Emiratis to launch private ventures while retaining their government employment benefits. Are you interested in how this policy could impact the UAE's entrepreneurial ecosystem?
