Golden Card
Thousands of investors and residents have been selected for a golden card “permanent residency scheme” This scheme makes it easier for those who work in UAE to settle and set up a permanent life that will benefit the whole family as well as the economy. Before the issue of the Golden Card residents have been obtaining visas that are valid for two to three years, usually dependent on their employment.
