Dubai Teachers Eligible for Golden Visa : Here's What You Need to Know

Are you a teacher in Dubai? Good news!

Teachers in Dubai’s private education sector who have demonstrated 'outstanding dedication and excellence' are set to receive special recognition.

In celebration of World Teachers’ Day, observed annually on October 5, the UAE government has announced that exceptional teachers in Dubai will now be eligible for the prestigious Golden Visa from October 15th, honoring their remarkable contributions to education.

This initiative stems from the directive of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council. He has ordered that long-term visas be granted to distinguished teachers as a gesture of appreciation and recognition for their exceptional contributions to education.

He went on to state:

“We deeply value their mission and the invaluable role they play in shaping minds, nurturing future generations, and driving the progress of nations. Today, we celebrate their dedication and achievements, which not only define our present but also lay the foundation for a prosperous future. Teachers are a source of inspiration for today’s youth and tomorrow’s leaders, and their contributions support Dubai’s development, reaffirming its commitment to investing in human capital.”

What Are the Benefits of a Golden Visa?

Golden Visas provide holders with the security of long-term residency in Dubai and the UAE, eliminating the need to navigate the often lengthy and complex visa renewal process every few years.

In addition, it eliminates the need for a local sponsor, making the ease of doing business much simpler.
