Legal Framework

Program Regulations

Launched in 2019, the UAE Golden Visa operates under federal residency and immigration laws administered by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP). The program is rooted in UAE Cabinet and executive regulations governing long-term residence permits, allowing eligible foreign nationals to obtain renewable long-term residency without the need for a local sponsor. These regulations clearly define qualifying categories, minimum investment thresholds, compliance and due-diligence requirements, and family sponsorship rights, providing legal certainty and transparency while supporting the UAE’s broader economic diversification and talent-attraction strategy.
