The United Arab Emirates has introduced a new Golden Visa program specifically designed for teachers, in an effort to enhance the country’s education sector and retain top-tier talent. The new initiative, which is part of the UAE’s broader push to attract highly skilled professionals, will offer long-term residency to qualified teachers, granting them a range of benefits and opportunities for career growth.
Under the scheme, teachers in various educational fields, including those in public and private schools, universities, and vocational training centers, will be eligible for the prestigious Golden Visa. The visa offers long-term residency for up to 10 years, with the possibility of renewal. Teachers will also have the opportunity to sponsor their families, providing an added incentive for international educators to consider moving to the UAE.
The UAE’s Ministry of Education has expressed that the new visa program aims to not only improve the quality of education but also to support the country’s vision of becoming a global hub for education and innovation.
This move comes as part of a broader trend of the UAE expanding its visa offerings to skilled professionals in key sectors such as healthcare, science, and technology, making it an attractive destination for talent from around the world.
