UAE Golden Visas: Outstanding Students Can Apply Now

by Eddie Rayner


The Golden Visa for outstanding students means that youngsters who secure five-year visas can apply for the same period for their families, providing security and a firm foundation for the duration of their education.

High achievers in the secondary school system, as well as exceptional graduates from the nation’s universities, are eligible to apply. What’s more, it also extends to high achievers graduating from the best 100 universities worldwide.

There are, of course, several stipulations, which include academic performance/cumulative grade average, year of graduation, and the university classification.

The students who secure Golden Visas are no longer dependent on their parents’ jobs and can complete their studies on their own merit. Many outstanding university graduates who secured 10-year residency visas last year have obtained long-term residency for their parents this year. It’s a big thing for a young person to be their own sponsor and a big relief for the entire family.

This initiative is a part of significant immigration reforms in the UAE, with Golden Visas being granted to a variety of individuals seen to be valuable assets, including investors, businesspeople, technological professionals, researchers, and artists.
