As a qualifying engineer for the Golden Visa, do I need a minimum salary of Dh30,000 for the long-term visa?
Response: Assuming you’re employed by a Dubai-based company, in the UAE, engineers with designation levels 1 or 2 under MoHRE occupational classification or specific free zones can apply for a UAE golden residency visa.
Requirements include a notarized and legalized engineering degree certificate, a salary certificate confirming at least Dh30,000 monthly income, and copies of passport and visa page.
Hence, if you meet the above conditions with a salary exceeding Dh30,000, you’re eligible for the UAE golden residency visa.
For further information, you can reach out to the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai.
