About the UAE Golden Visa
The UAE Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable residency for talented individuals (specialised talent, scientists, investors, exceptional students). The 'specialised talent' track explicitly includes senior software engineers, AI/ML researchers, and tech founders. Salary qualification is AED 30,000+/month — from 2026, this must be **basic salary only**, excluding allowances (housing, transport, etc.). PhD-holders and graduates from top-100 universities also qualify. A higher-tier specialised-talent track at AED 50,000+/month with 5+ years of experience adds further options for senior executives.
Unlike the standard Work Permit, the Golden Visa is not tied to a single employer — holders can switch jobs, found companies, or freelance without re-applying. Family sponsorship (spouse + children, and parents in some cases) is included. The fastest path to long-term UAE residency available to non-Emiratis.
CV tip for Golden Visa applicants
For Golden Visa-eligible candidates: state qualification explicitly ("Golden Visa eligible via [specialised talent / scientist / investor]") — UAE recruiters interpret this as low-friction hiring.
Salary thresholds and visa rules above reflect publicly available figures as of 2026 and may change. Always confirm with the official authority — u.ae — before applying or making relocation decisions.

We are not a recruiter, staffing agency or immigration consultancy, and we do not contact employers or sponsor visas.
Other United Arab Emirates visa pathways
For Green Visa-eligible candidates: emphasise degree credential + salary band — the eligibility check is mechanical, not subjective.
For standard Work Permit roles: confirm whether the employer has a free-zone vs mainland licence — affects sponsorship logistics and notice-period rules.
