Abu Dhabi has released the criteria for its 10-year Golden Visa, specifying eligible occupations and conditions. The visa targets professionals in Level 1 and Level 2 categories. Applicants must hold a degree and meet a minimum salary threshold of AED 30,000. Some professions require a UAE-issued license.
The Golden Visa aims to attract skilled workers and investors. It offers long-term residency, easing the process for qualified individuals. The criteria include job classification, educational background, and income level. Certain fields may need additional documentation.
The initiative reflects the UAE’s efforts to diversify its economy and retain talent. Previous visa policies focused on short-term stays. This new framework aligns with broader economic reforms. The government has emphasized attracting high-skilled professionals to boost local industries.
