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.

Recently, Ramadan announced that he is collaborating on a new single entitled "Ya Habibi" with Congolese singer Gims.

Ramadan posted a new photo of himself on Instagram from the upcoming music production, which is filmed in the United Arab Emirates.

Ramadan’s latest artistic role is TV series “Al Prince” (The Prince), which is one of the most watch TV series during the holy month of Ramadan.

It also stars Rogena, Eman El Assy, Nour, Naglaa Badr, Donia Abd Elaziz, Ahmed Zaher, Edward, Abdel Rahman Abu Zahra, Safa Toukhi, and others.

It is written and directed by Mohamed Sami, and produced by Synergy Production Company.

TV series “Al Prince” is the second cooperation between Ramadan and Sami; they cooperated for the first time in the 2016 TV series “Al Ostoura”, which achieved great success during premiere time.

It is worth mentioning that Ramadan, born on May 23, 1988, began acting while at school. He received the award for greatest nationwide talent three times consecutively – an unprecedented achievement.

He started his career with small roles in TV series like “The Cindrella” until he had his big break in Yousry Nasrallah’s “Ehky Ya Sharazad” (Tell me, Shahrazad).

The actor then went on to star in blockbusters produced by the famous Egyptian producers Mohamed and Ahmed El Sobky, which made him one of the most valuable actors in the middle east.

He is perhaps the only Egyptian actor to have been praised by the internationally renowned actor Omar El-Sherif who stated that he had chosen him to perpetuate his acting legacy.
