UAE Golden Visa: Online nomination process explained

Eligible applicants can check their category and submit a nomination request via ICP’s online service.

The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) offers an online service for eligible applicants to check their UAE Golden Visa category and submit a nomination request. This process allows individuals who have not been pre-nominated by authorities to initiate their application.

The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residency permit that allows foreign nationals to live, work, and study in the UAE without a local sponsor. It offers residency for up to 10 years, covering investors, entrepreneurs, skilled professionals, scientists, outstanding students, and individuals with exceptional talents.

Applicants must meet specific eligibility requirements and receive necessary approvals before completing their residency application. The nomination fee is Dh155, which includes an e-service fee of Dh29 and ICP fees of Dh122. Fees should be confirmed on the ICP payment screen before submission.

Nomination approval does not guarantee a Golden Visa issuance. Final approval is subject to the relevant authorities’ requirements. For the latest information or clarification, contact the ICP through its official contact centre at 600522222.
