The golden visa was launched by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2019 as a long-term residency scheme to grant professionals 10-year golden access. International investors and the best talent from around the world can obtain visas in Abu Dhabi under the UAE’s Golden Visa program. This covers professionals and researchers in the sciences and other domains of knowledge, including physicians, specialists, scientists, and inventors. Additionally, it is available to the emirate’s business, entrepreneurial, and real estate investors as well as skilled creative, and athletic persons.
Why was the UAE GOLDEN VISA introduced?
The golden visa was introduced 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.
