In yet another move to foster talent within the country, the UAE has announced several new visa amendments and expansions, namely a new Green Visa aimed at freelancers. This visa will enable freelancers to not only sponsor themselves but also their parents and children up to the age of 25. At present, those eligible for the visa include highly skilled residents, high-achieving students, entrepreneurs and a number of others. The reason for the increased age of dependents is so that young residents choose to remain in the UAE while they carve out their career paths, be it creative, educational, or entrepreneurial.

Other than the Green Visa, a first of its kind new visa is also being introduced for students aged 15 and above that are looking to gain work experience across several different sectors. These new visa provisions have been established in order for the UAE to be seen as an ideal destination for work, education, and entrepreneurship for people in any field. The existing Golden Visa will also be expanded to add in managers, CEOs, and residents who are specialists in their respective career paths and will have a streamlined process of applying for the same.
