Differences between the Blue Visa and the Golden Visa

Why is the UAE chosen for environmental projects?

What are the differences between the UAE Golden Visa and the Blue Visa? The Golden Visa requires a financial investment of at least 2 million AED in property, a business or a deposit, and is aimed at investors and entrepreneurs.

The Blue Visa in Dubai does not require investments running into millions: it is issued for a proven contribution to the environment, whether through scientific research, environmental projects or ‘green’ technologies.

Both visas grant a 10-year residence permit.
The UAE is emerging as a global hub for sustainable development:

  • Ranked 1st in the region for investment in clean energy.
  • Strategic goal: to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
  • Government support for ‘green’ initiatives and start-ups.
  • Well-developed infrastructure for research into climate and biodiversity.
  • International recognition of the UAE’s efforts to combat climate change.
