The UAE has launched a pilot, nomination‑based Golden Visa offering lifetime residency to Indians and Bangladeshis for just ₹23 lakh down from the ₹4.66 crore investment previously required. Eligibility extends beyond investors to upper‑middle‑class professionals: teachers, researchers, nurses, YouTubers and more . Initial rollout opens 5,000 slots in the next three months. Applicants undergo merit-based nomination and background checks; pre‑approval is available from India. Visa holders get full family sponsorship, can work, run businesses, even hire domestic staff, and maintain residency independent of property ownership. This push aligns with the UAE’s strategy to attract global talent. (PC: India Today)
