Golden Visa For Resident Doctors

The UAE has permitted all the resident doctors to apply for ‘Golden Visas’ for ten years. Doctors licensed by the Gulf country’s healthcare regulators are eligible for applying before September 2022. The long term visa allows foreigners to work, live and study without needing an Emirati sponsor. The services will help in granting the doctors and their families 10-year residency visas.

This offer is an expression of good citizenship and appreciation for the efforts of the ‘First line defence’, during this pandemic.
