UAE INTRODUCES 10-YEAR GOLDEN VISA

This article will concentrate on the introduction of the UAE Golden VISA. A 10-year golden visa will now be granted by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to professionals such as engineers, doctors, and Ph.D.s who graduated from universities recognized by the UAE and have GPAs of 3.8 or higher. To keep “bright people and exceptional minds” in the country, this visa is being issued.

As a long-term residency scheme, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Dubai’s ruler and prime minister, established the golden visa in 2019. Since its introduction, the visa has been given to more than 400 investors, businessmen, and some of their family members.

REASONS FOR INTRODUCING THE UAE GOLDEN VISA

The golden visa was implemented in order to promote the UAE as a location for commercial investment and to promote regional economic growth. The visa was established to honor long-term residents and their contributions to the advancement of their nation.

By providing them with a long-term visa that is valid for ten years and may be renewed, the golden visa is a way to acknowledge and thank them for their commitment.
