Well, it is reasonable. I lived 20 years of my life, grew up, and learned in the Emirates. I don’t have a residence permit for my ghosts, because I’ve cut 6 months. https://t.co/nvvRH8PkS4

Famous People Received ‘Golden Residency’
Many celebrities and artists have already obtained a “golden residency” in the Emirates, most notably the Portuguese soccer player, Cristiano Ronaldo. And the Egyptian artist Mohamed Ramadan, the Lebanese artist Ragheb Alama, the Lebanese journalist Annabella Hilal, and the Tunisian artist Latifa.
It is worth noting that in 2019, the UAE announced the launch of a new system called “Golden Residency” intended for non-Emiratis.
The “golden residency” also depends on the system of long-term residence visas, for five or ten years, which are automatically renewed, when the same conditions are met. And that is for certain groups that include investors, entrepreneurs, and those with specialized talents.
The golden residency allows its holder to enjoy a long-term residence without the need for an Emirati sponsor, with 100% ownership within the Emirates. This is in contrast to the convention, which stipulates the necessity of having a local partner with a share of not less than 51% in business and investment projects within the Emirates of the state.
The ruler of Dubai, Mohammed bin Rashid, said in tweets at the time on Twitter: “Brothers and sisters… today we approved granting golden residency to residents, for a period of 10 years.”
The categories that could be included in the “golden residency” came as follows: “All holders of doctorate degrees – all doctors – engineers. In the fields of computer engineering, electronics, programming, electricity and biotechnology – the outperformance of accredited universities in the country with a score of 3.8 and more.
It also includes those with specialized degrees in artificial intelligence, big data, or epidemiology and viruses – in addition. High school students in the country with their families.
Mohammed bin Rashid said at the time, “This is a first payment, and other payments will follow later.”
