Eligibility Criteria: The program is open to investors, entrepreneurs, professionals, and individuals with exceptional talents, such as scientists, researchers, and artists.

Investment Requirements: Eligible individuals may need to meet certain investment criteria, such as investing in real estate, establishing a business, or making significant financial contributions to the UAE economy.

Long-term Residency: Successful applicants receive a residency visa that allows them and their families to live, work, study, and conduct business in the UAE without the need for a local sponsor.

Renewal: The Golden Visa is typically issued for 5 or 10 years and can be renewed as long as the individual continues to meet the program’s requirements.

Family Sponsorship: Golden Visa holders have the option to sponsor their immediate family members, including spouses and children, allowing them to also benefit from long-term residency in the UAE.

No Need for Local Sponsor: Unlike other residency visas in the UAE, the Golden Visa does not require a local sponsor or employer, providing greater flexibility and independence to the visa holder.

Access to Public Services: Golden Visa holders are entitled to access a wide range of public services in the UAE, including healthcare, education, and banking facilities.

Path to Citizenship: While the Golden Visa does not directly lead to citizenship, it may serve as a pathway for individuals who wish to eventually become permanent residents or citizens of the UAE.
