What Is UAE’s Golden Visa?

Before we understand the news, let us know what this visa is. The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term visa given to talented people like scientists, doctors, engineers, business owners, students with high marks, and investors. It allows them to stay in the UAE for 5 or 10 years, depending on their profile. People with a Golden Visa can live, work, and study in the UAE without needing a national sponsor.

It is also renewed automatically, making it easier for them to plan their life and career in the UAE without worrying about visa issues every year.

Why Did This Rumour Spread?

Many people wish to settle in the UAE because of good job opportunities, a safe environment, and high living standards. That is why when news came that people could get a lifetime Golden Visa easily, everyone wanted to know more about it. Some media reports claimed that it was an official announcement and people could apply soon.

What Did UAE Authorities Say?

However, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government denied these reports completely. On Monday, the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) released an official statement.

They said that there is no plan to give a lifetime Golden Visa to any nationality at the moment. The ICP clearly mentioned that the news and rumours about lifetime eligibility for certain nationalities were not true.

Their Official Statement

The ICP said, “The Golden Visa applications are handled only through government channels. No internal or external consultancy entity is recognised as an authorised party in the application process.”

This means that no private agency or consultant has permission to handle Golden Visa applications. People must apply only through the UAE government website or offices.

Why Did ICP Release This Statement?

The statement came after many rumours spread online and in foreign media. The news said that Indians and Bangladeshis could get a lifetime visa by paying a fixed amount. Because of these false reports, many people started asking consultants or agents about the process.

The ICP posted it on their official Instagram page to reach more people quickly.

What Did ICP Warn the Public?

The ICP gave a strong warning to everyone. They said that:

• People should not believe such fake news.

• No person should pay any money to private agents who promise them a Golden Visa for life.

• Legal action will be taken against those spreading fake news or trying to cheat people by collecting money illegally.

They added that such fake schemes are only to steal money from people who wish to settle in the UAE. Many families dream of working and living there. Scammers know this and try to take advantage by spreading lies.

How Can You Apply for a Golden Visa Safely?

The ICP said that people should only follow official websites for any visa-related information. If someone wants to apply for a Golden Visa, they can:

• Visit the official website: www.icp.gov.ae

• Or call the UAE government helpline at 600522222

This way, they will get correct and updated information. They will also know if there are any changes in rules in the future.

What Happens If You Believe in Fake News?

If people believe such fake news and give money to agents or fraudsters, they can:

• Lose their hard-earned money

• Not get any visa at all

• Face legal problems if fake documents are used

• Feel stressed and cheated

That is why it is always important to check the news with official government sources before taking any action.

Is There Any Chance for Lifetime Golden Visa in Future?

At present, there is no official plan or announcement for a lifetime Golden Visa for any nationality, including Indians. However, the UAE government keeps changing visa rules from time to time to support talented people and investors. If there is any such decision in the future, it will be announced only by the UAE government and shared on their official platforms.

Why Do People Want the UAE Golden Visa?

Many people from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and other Asian countries want this visa because:

• The UAE has good salaries and tax-free income.

• It has high-quality education for children.

• It is safe and clean with modern facilities.

• It offers better health care services.

• It allows people to travel to many countries easily.

That is why news about a lifetime Golden Visa excited everyone. But now the government has cleared all confusion.

Final Message for the Public

The UAE government has once again requested everyone to stay alert and not fall for rumours. People must trust only official statements shared by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) and other UAE government bodies.

Always Remember

• Do not pay any consultancy or agent for a lifetime Golden Visa.

• Check the ICP website or call them for true information.

• Report to authorities if anyone asks you for money for fake visas.

• Understand that spreading or believing fake news can harm many families.

The UAE wants to make its visa system transparent and fair for everyone. They welcome talented and hardworking people from across the world, but they also want to protect them from frauds.
