UAE Golden Visa: What are the 8 Benefits and why you should apply for it?
Dubai: If you intend to apply for the UAE’s Golden Visa, are you aware that in addition to the advantage of obtaining long-term residency in the UAE, there are other benefits available to you. Here is a list of benefits you can enjoy with the 10-year visa.
What is the UAE’s Golden Visa?
The Golden Visa is a long-term residency permit valid for 10 years, enabling you to live, work, or study in the UAE without requiring a sponsor.
The Golden Visa is awarded to individuals from various categories, including gifted people researchers, exceptional students, medical professionals, specialists, innovators, athletes, entrepreneurs, and investors.
- Travel with confidence: UAE consular support for Golden Visa holders
Golden Visa holders can now access faster consular support abroad — including emergency documents in 30 minutes, 24/7 hotline access, and repatriation help.
Support is provided by ICP and the Ministry of Foreign Affair
Dedicated hotline for Golden Visa holders: For urgent assistance while abroad Golden Visa holders can contact the ministry’s 24/7 hotline at +971 2 493 1133.
2. Long-term residency designed for stability and continuity.
A key advantage of the Golden Visa is that it grants holders the right to reside in the UAE on a renewable 10-year residence permit. As long as the eligibility requirements for your original visa category are met, the visa can be renewed without issue.
3. Enjoy full residency freedom — no sponsor or employer needed.
Most UAE residence visas require a sponsor — like an employer or family member. But with the Golden Visa, you’re self-sponsored. That means more freedom to change jobs without needing to cancel your visa. No employer. No hassle. Just opportunity.
4. Travel freely — your UAE residency stays valid even after 6 months abroad.
Unlike regular residence visas, you won’t lose your residency if you’re abroad for more than 6 months. Stay flexible. Stay connected.
5. Family sponsorship made simpler and more accessible.
Under the new visa system, all expatriates can now sponsor their male children up to the age of 25. If the son is a Person of Determination, there is no age limit for sponsorship.
For Golden Visa holders, the 10-year residency offers added convenience by eliminating the need for frequent renewals. Additionally, the Golden Visa provides security for family members — if the main visa holder passes away, their dependents can continue to reside in the UAE under a valid permit.
6. Enjoy the freedom to hire the domestic support your household requires
With the Golden Visa, you can sponsor as many domestic helpers as needed.
7. A dedicated multiple-entry visa designed for Golden Visa applicants
If you don’t currently hold a Golden Visa and are not residing in the UAE, you can apply for a special six-month multiple-entry visit visa that enables you to enter the UAE to complete your application process.
8. More options to customize your work
According to Article 9 of the UAE Labour Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021), employees on probation who leave the UAE without giving their employer the required notice may be subject to a one-year employment ban.
However, Article 11 of Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022 provides exemptions to this rule. Among those exempted are Golden Visa holders. Other exemptions include:
1. Workers in sectors critical to the UAE’s national interests
2. Individuals on family-sponsored visas
3. Golden Visa holders
4. Employees in certain job categories designated by the Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation, as approved by the Cabinet
5. Workers applying for a new permit with their current employer.
