The long-term UAE residence visa system, popularly known as the golden visa, was announced in May 2019. It is a visa that is renewed every 10 years, effectively granting expats, who make up most of the UAE’s population, permanent residency.

It was created to attract investment environment in the UAE, to encourage business development, and draw in new talent.

The visa is granted to five categories of expatriates: investors, entrepreneurs, chief executives, scientists, and outstanding students.

There is also a five-year visa, renewable every five years, for categories such as outstanding students and property investors.
