UAE announced an expansion of its Golden Visa (10-year residency): holders will receive enhanced consular support abroad—services that were previously associated with citizen-level protection.
This update is designed to improve safety and continuity for long-term residents, entrepreneurs and investors who travel frequently and want additional guarantees in case of emergencies.
What’s included in the new support
Golden Visa holders (and their dependants) will now be covered by a set of practical services when overseas:
- 24/7 emergency assistance via a dedicated hotline during international crises
- Inclusion in official crisis-response and evacuation plans
- A temporary return document if a passport is lost or damaged abroad
- Repatriation support, including coordination and help with burial arrangements in the UAE
- Family inclusion: coverage extends to dependants traveling with or without the main visa holder
Why this matters for investors
For many investors, residency is not only about living in the UAE—it’s about risk management. Consular support abroad reduces uncertainty during crises and strengthens confidence for families and high-net-worth individuals who plan to base their assets and lifestyle in the UAE.
Legal experts have described the move as a strong step that may increase trust and encourage expatriates to invest and contribute more actively to the UAE economy.
