UAE expands Abu Dhabi Golden Visa program for skilled professionals

In April 2025, the UAE expanded its Golden Visa program in Abu Dhabi, offering long-term residency for qualified high-income specialists with in-demand skills. This 10-year visa, which does not require sponsorship, provides stability, tax benefits, and the opportunity to be with family.

According to the new additions, the program is now also aimed at first and second level professionals, according to the classification of the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). Level 1 includes top management and managers, while level 2 includes engineers, doctors, educators, IT experts, legal consultants, business consultants, scientists, and cultural specialists.

To be eligible for the Abu Dhabi Golden Visa, applicants must meet several key criteria. Firstly, they must be employed in the United Arab Emirates and hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification. It is also important to have a valid professional license if required for the job. The salary must be at least 30,000 dirhams per month, and the position held must correspond to levels 1 or 2 according to the classification of the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). Compliance with these requirements is a mandatory condition for a successful application for the Golden Visa.

Before applying, a number of documents must be collected, including an employment contract, confirmation of job classification by MOHRE, diploma, professional license, employment certificate, and bank statement.

The 10-year Abu Dhabi Golden Visa is already available to qualified specialists, opening up new horizons for career growth and life in one of the most dynamic and culturally rich centers in the world. Start your path to success in 2025!
