Masdar City Free Zone has been facilitating the processing and submission of Golden Visas for eligible persons and their families for a while now.
In a statement, Masdar said the visas are being processed in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Residents Office (ADRO), a division recently launched by the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED).
The Golden Visa is a 10-year residency for certain professions including specialized degree-holders and others. It was announced in May 2019.
Masdar City Free Zone said it has been working to promote the Golden Visa to eligible candidates including investors, entrepreneurs, specialized talents, researchers in various fields of science and knowledge and students with promising scientific capabilities.
The statement said ADRO is “dedicated to helping” new residents settle into Abu Dhabi and “supports the integration and harmonization of expatriates with the local culture and society”.
Abdulla Balalaa, Executive Director of Masdar City, said the Golden Visa is of particular relevance to Masdar City, which hosts more than 900 companies that are benefiting from the City’s unique ecosystem of education, R&D, technology startups, incubators and corporates.
“Masdar City is therefore serving as a hub for the kinds of researchers, investors, entrepreneurs, and students, all within specialized fields, who would qualify for a Golden Visa in Abu Dhabi,” he added.
