Abu Dhabi’s Golden Visa duration has been updated to 10 years for all categories instead of 5 years, said Mark Dorzi, Director of Operations at the Abu Dhabi Resident Office.

Dorzi added that the holders of this visa can sponsor spouses, children and parents, regardless of age, with the addition of new main categories and subcategories, following recommendations from relevant offices such as the Abu Dhabi Residents’ Office.

The Abu Dhabi Residents’ Office said the Golden Visa, now valid for ten years, offers a wide range of residency options for professionals and researchers in the fields of science and knowledge, including doctors, specialists, scientists and inventors.

The UAE government previously launched the Golden Residence Scheme, which aims to provide long-term residence permits, giving holders the opportunity to live in the country without the need for a sponsor.

It is said to be released for 5 or 10 years, depending on the category.

Exclusive benefits for Golden Visa holders include: a 6-month multiple-entry visa upon completion of the Golden Visa process, and a 5- or 10-year renewable residence visa.

Golden visa holders can also stay outside the UAE for more than 6 months and are entitled to residence permits for family members including husband and children

The maximum number of supported service workers that can be brought to the UAE is lifted, and family members can remain in the country for the duration of their stay, even if the sponsor holding a golden visa dies.
