Why is This Important?

Lieutenant General Suhail Saeed Al Khaili, Director-General of ICP, made this announcement on UAE Education Day. He said that the UAE has always been a leader in education and that this golden visa programme shows the country’s commitment to supporting talented individuals and encouraging innovation.

He explained that the golden visa is not just a prize for good academic results, but a way of recognizing the hard work of students, teachers, and researchers who are helping to build a better future for the UAE.

What is the Golden Visa Programme?

The UAE government introduced the Golden Residency for the education sector to attract talented students and teachers, improve education, and support the country’s growth.

With this long-term visa, students and teachers can stay in the UAE for a longer period and continue contributing to the country’s education system.

Lieutenant General Al Khaili said that the success of this programme can be seen in the increasing number of golden visa holders and its positive impact on the UAE’s education system.

This programme is expected to grow further, bringing even more talented people to the UAE, and making the country a top destination for education and research.
