The UAE government has recently approved the introduction of a new 10-year residency visa during a cabinet meeting in Abu Dhabi. This initiative, known as the "Blue Visa," aims to reward individuals who have made exceptional contributions to environmental preservation and sustainability.
Under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, this extended residency visa marks a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. It reflects the UAE President's vision to make 2024 the year of sustainability, placing environmental protection at the forefront of national priorities.
Potential beneficiaries of the Blue Visa include a variety of stakeholders engaged in environmental protection, such as members of international organizations, businesses, NGOs, researchers, and activists. Visa applications can be submitted through the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security, or through nominations by competent authorities in the UAE.
This new visa offers a unique opportunity for environmental advocates worldwide to engage in sustainability initiatives in the UAE and contribute to shaping a greener, more resilient future. Through this program, the UAE aims to strengthen its position as a global leader in promoting environmental sustainability.
