Countries either follow the blood system or the soil system to grant citizenship. In most Arab countries, the blood system is followed. Citizenship is granted by birth in the UAE only if the parents of the child born are UAE nationals and is through the blood system, so there are no residency effects for the parents of the child born in the UAE.
