The UAE government introduced the Golden Visa to attract and retain investors and exceptional talent in the country. The visa offers long-term residency to successful applicants allowing them to live, work, and study in the country and sponsor family members. However, the specific requirements for these applicants differ depending on their professional status. For example, the Golden visa requirements for salaried employees are a monthly salary of at least AED 30,000, a bachelor’s degree from a Ministry of Education-accredited university, a valid work contract, and a work experience of at least five years in the same position.
