UAE Opens Doors Wide: Lifetime Residency for Indians for ₹20 Lakh
The United Arab Emirates has significantly expanded its Golden Visa program, offering Indian citizens lifetime residency for a fee of AED 100,000 (approximately ₹20 Lakh). This landmark move broadens eligibility beyond high-net-worth investors.
Previously restricted to investors, the program now welcomes skilled professionals. Successful applicants will enjoy the benefits of tax advantages and the freedom to work and sponsor family members.
However, the program is not a guaranteed pathway to residency. Applicants must meet stringent eligibility criteria and undergo thorough background checks.
The UAE’s move is a significant development for Indian professionals seeking global opportunities and better prospects. This initiative could potentially lead to a significant increase in skilled migration from India to the UAE, impacting both economies.
