Golden Visa Nomination UAE – Overview
Golden Visa Nomination UAE is a pre-approval / eligibility pathway used for certain Golden Residency categories where a recommendation, nomination or authority approval is required. For specialised professionals, current ICP and GDRFA guidance requires a valid UAE work permit and employment contract, professional level 1 or 2 under the MOHRE classification, at least a bachelor’s degree or equivalent, and monthly salary of at least AED 30,000. Some specialist categories such as science, healthcare, education and industry require a nomination or recommendation from the relevant competent authority.
