The UAE Golden Visa is a prestigious long-term residency program for professionals, investors, and entrepreneurs, enabling them to live, work, and grow in the UAE without requiring local sponsorship. Launched in 2019, its goal is to attract global talent and investment while strengthening the UAE’s position as a global hub for business and innovation.
What is the UAE Golden Visa?
The Golden Visa grants eligible individuals renewable residency of 5 or 10 years. Unlike standard visas, it allows for self-sponsorship, offering greater stability and flexibility. Holders enjoy exclusive benefits such as business ownership and family sponsorship.
