Starting April 2025, Abu Dhabi Launches 10-Year Golden Visa for Skilled Professionals with High Salaries and In-Demand Jobs. So, if you’ve ever dreamed of living in a sun-soaked, skyscraper-filled city where innovation meets luxury—Abu Dhabi is calling your name! And now, the city is rolling out the red carpet with its 10-Year Golden Visa for Skilled Professionals. Yep, a full decade of UAE living – no strings, no hustle. Just you, your talent, and endless opportunities.

Who Can Apply? (Spoiler: You might just qualify!)

To be eligible, you must:

• • Already be employed in the UAE (that’s your foot in the door!)
  • Hold at least a bachelor’s degree or something equivalent (no diploma collectors, please).
  • Have a valid UAE practicing license (if required for your role – think doctors, teachers, pharmacists).

• Make AED 30,000/month or more (~USD 8,200) – not bad, huh?
• Hold a job classified as Level 1 or Level 2 in MOHRE’s fancy occupational list:
  • Level 1 = Big bosses: managers, execs, decision-makers.

  • Level 2 = The cool professionals: scientists, engineers, doctors, educators, IT experts, lawyers, business gurus, cultural champs… basically, the brains behind everything.

• Attested bachelor’s degree or equivalent
• Valid license (only if your job needs it)
• Employment certificate
• Salary certificate from your employer + 3-month bank statement showing your shiny AED 30K+ salary.

It’s a checklist, not a thesis. You got this.
