The (UAE) golden visa constitutes a renewable residence visa valid for a duration of either five or ten years, which is extended to investors, entrepreneurs, specialized professionals, and researchers engaged in diverse domains of science and knowledge, in addition to students demonstrating exceptional academic achievement. This visa facilitates the ability of foreign nationals to reside, engage in professional activities, or pursue educational opportunities within the UAE, eliminating the necessity for a local sponsor and permitting complete foreign ownership of enterprises.
10-year visas go to investors who put at least AED 10 million into public projects. They also serve people with special skills. 5-year visas fit investors who buy property worth at least AED 5 million. Entrepreneurs and top students qualify too
