UAE: Dubai expands Golden Visa program for the growth and development of foreign creative professionals

The UAE is taking steps to strengthen its position as a global hub for the creative industries by expanding its Golden Visa program. Now podcasters, visual artists, leaders in advertising, music and fashion, as well as social media influencers (with large audiences) and content creators in education, lifestyle, travel, technology, gaming and other areas can apply for long-term residency .

The new changes are part of Dubai's ambitious strategy to support creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. Visa holders will have the opportunity to develop their projects in a dynamic environment, participate in specialized workshops and receive training on a variety of topics including branding, video production, monetization and more.

Gold Visa applicants must be successful content creators with recognized publications, awards or professional recognition, and demonstrate the potential to make a significant contribution to the UAE's creative community.

To apply, applicants must demonstrate the positive impact of their work, revenue from content, and compliance with UAE media and advertising standards. Applicants must prepare documents, a curriculum vitae and a portfolio of achievements.

The Golden Visa provides long-term visas for 5 or 10 years, allowing creative professionals to work and develop projects in Dubai without the need for a local sponsor. The program also offers family sponsorship opportunities, enhanced career prospects and tax benefits.

With state-of-the-art infrastructure and a vibrant cultural scene, Dubai is emerging as an attractive hub for creative professionals that offers unique opportunities for growth and international collaboration.
