The UAE offers a Golden Visa program, a long-term residency scheme designed to attract talent and foster innovation. The program has expanded to include exceptional students, presenting a unique opportunity for academic and professional growth. The visa provides stability with residency periods of 5 or 10 years, eliminates the need for a local sponsor, and offers flexibility for living, studying, and working. Holders can sponsor family members and maintain visa validity even if they spend extended periods outside the UAE. High school students with exceptional academic records (minimum 95% marks) and university graduates from accredited institutions are eligible to apply. High school students in Abu Dhabi apply through designated channels based on their school type. University graduates must meet specific GPA requirements and have graduated within the past two years. The program prioritizes individuals in sectors vital to national development, such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and various engineering fields. Applicants must submit required documentation, including certified degrees and transcripts. The UAE government utilizes global university rankings to evaluate qualifications. This initiative provides a platform for students to contribute to the UAE’s knowledge economy and be part of its future.
