UAE Dismisses Rumours About Lifetime Golden Visa For Certain Nationalities

The UAE's Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) has denied the accuracy of rumours circulated by various media outlets and websites regarding the country granting lifetime Golden Visas to certain nationalities. The authority has clarified that all Golden Visa applications are exclusively managed through official government channels within the country, and no internal or external consultancy is authorised to handle the application process.

Recently, press releases issued by a consulting office claimed that lifetime Golden Visas were available to all categories through consulting or commercial entities, under simplified conditions. However, the federal authority declared that these claims were legally baseless and were made without the UAE's relevant authorities being involved. It further declared that legal proceedings would be initiated against those spreading such misinformation. Individuals are also urged not to fall for misleading rumours or false information. They should refrain from paying any fees or sharing personal documents with anyone claiming to offer these services.
