Dubai has introduced Golden Visas for outstanding educators who have demonstrated exceptional performance and contributions to the education sector. Dubai’s golden visa for foreign individuals working as educators in the country has now become a reality. The applications for the Golden Visa for outstanding educators will open on 15 October 2024.
The Golden Visa for educators is a long-term residence visa that allows qualified educators to live and work in Dubai for an extended period. The Golden Visa is valid for 10 years and is renewable if the eligibility criteria continue to be met.
The outstanding educators who have made exceptional contributions to Dubai’s private education sector will be granted the prestigious Golden Visa. Therefore, educators who have demonstrated excellence, innovation, and a deep commitment to shaping the future of Dubai through education will be eligible to apply for the golden visa. They need to provide clear evidence of improved student outcomes, including academic progress, and graduation outcomes.
