The golden
visa – a long-term residency scheme launched by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid,
Vice President and Ruler of Dubai – recognizes experts in various fields who
play a crucial role in supporting the nation’s progress.
In July this
year, doctors on the front line of the coronavirus pandemic were encouraged to
apply for golden visas in recognition of their contribution to health care in
the country.
More than
500 were shortlisted after a thorough selection process, with each doctor
appraised based on their qualifications, performance, and reputation.
As part of a
continued push to attract talent to Abu Dhabi, the Department of Health Abu
Dhabi (DoH) and the Abu Dhabi Residents Office announced that more doctors and
healthcare practitioners are scheduled to be awarded golden visas.
“Over
the past year, we have seen the impact our healthcare professionals have made
on our community,” said Abdullah Al Hamed, DoH chairman.
“Supporting
the vision of our leadership, they have consistently put health and the
well-being of our community as a top priority.”
The golden visa grants doctors and their families a 10-year residency, allowing them to establish roots in the country.
