What Makes the UAE Golden Visa So Unique?
The UAE Golden Visa was introduced in 2019, as a means for expats to obtain long-term residency in the country. Unlike the standard visas, the Golden Visa grants up to 10 years of residency to individuals across different categories for investors, entrepreneurs, students, professionals, specialized talents, and others.
