UAE Golden Visa programme expansion

Overview

The United Arab Emirates is expanding its Golden Visa programme to attract various forms of international talent to its emirates.

In Dubai, the initiative has been extended to include outstanding educators in the private sector, such as those in early childhood centers and higher education. This move supports the Dubai Education 33 (E33) strategy to enhance regional competitiveness. Since the program's launch on October 5, 2024, over 835 educators have applied.

In Abu Dhabi, the 10-year residency programme has released full eligibility criteria to support economic diversification. The scope includes investors, entrepreneurs, scientists, outstanding students, and humanitarian pioneers. This expansion builds upon previous iterations of the UAE Golden Visa, which in 2020 began including exceptional sporting talent.
