The UAE government offers a 10-year Golden Visa for select residents, and now you can quickly check if you qualify using a new online quiz from the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP). This easy tool helps residents determine their UAE Golden Visa eligibility across several Golden Visa categories such as investors, scientists, top students, athletes, and professionals.
The UAE Golden Visa is a prestigious long-term residency permit valid for 10 years, allowing foreigners to live, work, and study in the UAE without requiring a local sponsor. Visa holders can also sponsor family members and domestic staff indefinitely, offering unparalleled stability and flexibility in the region.
To find out whether you qualify, visit the ICP’s official smart services website at smartservices.icp.gov.ae. Navigate to the Golden Visa section and select ‘Check your eligibility’. The quiz features simple yes/no questions based on varied visa categories, including exceptional university graduates (with a minimum GPA of 3.8), doctors, scientists, humanitarian workers, and more.
For example, if you are a recent high-achieving graduate, responding ‘yes’ to the GPA question will guide you to the university graduate Golden Visa application process.
After submitting responses, the tool directs you to the relevant online application form for nomination under your eligible category. Each category has specific documentation requirements. Nomination approval by ICP is mandatory before proceeding to the Golden Visa application.
Applicants in specialized fields like media or arts need additional endorsement from authorities such as the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority or Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism.
It is advisable to consult with a registered typing center or visit an Amer Centre in Dubai before starting your application. These centers provide valuable guidance on the required documents for your specific category, ensuring a smooth application process.
Stay informed and seize this opportunity to benefit from the UAE’s Golden Visa program by quickly assessing your eligibility online today.
