A long term residence granted to attract talents and highly skilled workers and professionals and to boost the investment environment and faster business success growth. Golden visas can be granted to investors, entrepreneurs, and people with specialized talents, researchers in various fields of science and knowledge, and bright students with promising scientific capabilities. Sometimes people are nominated for golden visas by senior Emiratis or government bodies, and in other circumstances people apply online. People investing Dh1million to Dh2million in property also have several options. If a person is awarded a golden visa, then their spouse and children can also apply. A long term, renewable residence visa is valid for 10 years.

The UAE Golden Visa enables foreign talents to live and work or study in the UAE while enjoying exclusive benefits like,

•         An entry visa for six months with multiple entries to proceed with residence insurance
•         A self-sponsored visa, as there is no need for an employment sponsor
•         Ability to stay outside the UAE for more than the usual restriction of six months in order to keep their residence visa valid.
•         Sponsoring their family members, including spouse and children regardless of their ages. Also, sponsoring unlimited number of domestic helpers.
