What is the UAE’s Golden visa?



The UAE’s ‘Golden visa’ is a long- term residency visa which enables foreign talents to live and work or study in the UAE while enjoying exclusive benefits which include:

  • an entry visa for six months with multiple entries to proceed with residence issuance

  • a long term, renewable residence visa valid for 10 years

  • 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

  • sponsoring unlimited number of domestic helpers

  • allowing family members to stay in the UAE until the end of their permit duration, if the primary holder of the Golden visa passes away.
