According to Khaleej Times, the UAE government had in 2019 implemented a new system for long-term residence visas, enabling foreigners to live, work and study in the UAE without the need of a national sponsor, The New Indian Express reported quoting PTI.
These golden visas are issued for five or 10 years and will be renewed automatically.
