The UAE’s ‘Golden visa’ is a long- term residency visa which enables foreign talents to live and work or study in the UAE while enjoying exclusive benefits which include:

​

• an entry visa for six months with multiple entries to proceed with residence issuance

• a long term, renewable residence visa valid for 10 years

• a self-sponsored visa, as there is no need for an employment sponsor

• ability to stay outside the UAE for more than the usual restriction of six months in order to keep their residence visa valid

• sponsoring their family members, including spouse and children regardless of their ages

• sponsoring unlimited number of domestic helpers

• allowing family members to stay in the UAE until the end of their permit duration, if the primary holder of the Golden visa passes away.
