The UAE’s Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) has dismissed rumours suggesting certain nationalities could get a lifetime version of the Golden Visa.
The Authority has stressed that the guidelines for the Golden Visa are set in stone, governed by law, and laid out through official channels. Interested individuals can find the official information on the Authority’s website or smart application.
The Authority made reference to news articles from a consultancy office based in another country, suggesting that lifetime Golden Visas could be obtained for all categories from outside the UAE via consulting or commercial entities under simplified conditions. These claims have no legal basis and were made without coordination with the relevant authorities in the UAE.
Entities spreading such false information could face legal action, the Authority stressed.
It urged all individuals wishing to visit, live, or invest in the UAE not to respond to inaccurate rumors and false news aimed at quick profit. They should avoid paying any fees or submitting personal documents to any party claiming to provide these services.
