UAE Upcoming 10-Year Blue Residency Visa for Remarkable Environmental Contributions

The Cabinet of the United Arab Emirates has greenlit a novel, extended-stay visa category named the Blue Residency visa.

This visa will enable foreign nationals who have made noteworthy strides in environmental conservation to reside and work in the UAE for up to 10 years.

Applicants can submit their Blue Residency visa requests directly via the electronic portal of the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security or through nominations by competent authorities.

Additional specifics regarding the Blue Residency visa are anticipated to emerge in the ensuing months.

This initiative dovetails with the UAE government’s proclamation that 2024 will be designated the “Year of Sustainability” in the nation and underscores numerous endeavours initiated since 2019 to introduce long-term residency visas.
