𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: A federal
UAE initiative is exploring nomination-based Golden Visas for select
nationalities.
- The AED 100,000 fee is accurate,
but approval is not guaranteed—it is subject to nomination and
background checks.
- No investment is required,
but self-nomination is not permitted. Applications must go through
authorized partners.
- The Dubai Government has not issued any
official statement confirming its involvement in this scheme.
🚫 What Needs Correction:
- The claim that Dubai has launched a
Golden Visa for Indians at AED 100,000 is inaccurate.
- The program is not open to the public
at large and is not yet a formal immigration pathway.
As professionals and advisors,
we must ensure that information shared within our networks is accurate,
verified, and responsibly interpreted. While the initiative signals a
progressive shift in UAE residency policy, clarity and caution are essential,
especially when it involves immigration and legal commitments.
Let’s continue to foster
transparency and informed dialogue in our community.
