UAE Golden Visa 2025 — A New Era of Protection, Privilege, and Partnership

The UAE has once again proven why it stands at the forefront of global innovation and investor confidence.
With the introduction of exclusive new consular services for Golden Visa holders, the country has expanded its promise of safety and stability — offering care and protection far beyond its borders.

For the first time in the nation’s history, long-term residents under the Golden Visa scheme will receive near-citizen-level consular assistance, reflecting how deeply the UAE values those who contribute to its growth and prosperity.

Whether you are an investor, entrepreneur, or skilled professional, this development represents more than just a policy change — it’s a declaration that the UAE considers you an integral part of its future.

For individuals who travel frequently, manage international operations, or have family members abroad, these new measures provide a level of confidence and peace of mind unmatched by any other residency program in the world.

Unveiled at GITEX Global 2025, the initiative by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) and the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security (ICP) extends comprehensive global protection to every Golden Visa holder and their dependents.

Key Highlights

1. 24/7 Global Hotline
   Golden Visa holders and their families can now access a dedicated international hotline (+971 2 493 1133) that provides round-the-clock assistance in emergencies, natural disasters, health crises, or the loss of travel documents abroad.
2. “Return Document” for Lost or Damaged Passports
   In case of passport loss or damage while overseas, residents can obtain an electronic Return Document through the UAE’s official consular portal — typically issued within 30 minutes — allowing safe, direct travel back to the UAE without delay.
3. Emergency Evacuation Support 
   For the first time, Golden Visa residents are entitled to emergency evacuation assistance, a privilege previously reserved only for UAE citizens. In the event of major global or regional crises, the UAE government will coordinate evacuation procedures to ensure the safety and swift return of Golden Visa holders and their dependents to the UAE.
4. Repatriation and Burial Assistance
   In difficult times, the UAE will provide full support with repatriation or burial arrangements for Golden Visa holders abroad — assisting families with compassionate, dignified, and efficient coordination.
5. Extended Family Coverage
   These new privileges now extend to registered dependents, including spouses, children, and parents, ensuring that every member of the family benefits from the same level of global protection and care.

To benefit from the new privileges, Golden Visa holders should take a few proactive steps:

• Check Your Visa Validity: ensure your Golden Visa is active; only valid holders and dependents are covered.
• Register Dependents Properly: make sure your spouse and children are officially registered under your Golden Visa category.
• Save the Emergency Hotline: add +971 2 493 1133 to your contact list for instant access to the UAE’s global support centre.
• Apply for “Return Document”: use the official MoFA/ICP portal to request a digital Return Document in case of a lost or damaged passport abroad (valid for a single entry to the UAE).
• In Emergencies or Crises Abroad: contact the hotline immediately for coordinated assistance through UAE embassies or missions.
• In the Case of Bereavement: families can request help with repatriation or burial procedures via the hotline, handled by UAE authorities with dignity and care.

Beyond these newly introduced services, the UAE Golden Visa continues to be one of the most competitive long-term residency programs globally — combining stability, opportunity, and freedom in one framework.

What Makes It Exceptional

• 10-Year Renewable Residency: long-term status for investors, entrepreneurs, professionals, and exceptional talent, independent of employer sponsorship.
• Full Ownership & Incorporation Flexibility: Golden Visa holders can own and incorporate a company in the UAE mainland or free zones, gaining access to one of the most secure and business-friendly environments in the world.
• Freedom of Residence and Travel: maintain your UAE residency even when living abroad for extended periods — ideal for frequent travelers and international business owners.
• Family Sponsorship and Education Benefits: bring your spouse, children, and dependents with simplified residency procedures and access to the UAE’s world-class healthcare and education systems.
• Prestige and Stability: the Golden Visa offers more than legal residency — it is a symbol of belonging, stability, and international trust.

With these advantages and the newly added global consular support, the UAE Golden Visa has reached a new standard of excellence.

The combination of enhanced global protection, business freedom, and residency security makes 2025 the most favourable time to obtain your UAE Golden Visa.

• These services create unprecedented assurance for global citizens who value both opportunity and safety.
• The UAE’s approach shows unmatched foresight — welcoming investors and professionals not just as contributors, but as permanent partners in its success.
• With international recognition of the UAE as a hub of innovation, finance, and quality of life, this is the time to secure your place in the heart of the Middle East’s most stable economy.
