The UAE Golden Visa is a prestigious long-term residency program from the UAE government. It allows foreign nationals to live in the UAE for 5 or 10 years. Unlike regular visas, it does not require sponsorship from a UAE citizen or employer, offering more freedom.
The visa is renewable and includes benefits like business opportunities, tax advantages, real estate options, and access to high-quality healthcare and education.
The program targets talented people in fields like investment, entrepreneurship, skilled work, research, and education. It supports economic growth, innovation, and stability for residents. This shows the UAE's goal to become a global center for business, culture, and research.
