UAE Launches Blue Visa for Sustainability Experts
With the Blue Visa and golden visa, the UAE is poised to become a hub for international talent, offering opportunities for professionals and creatives to live, work, and contribute to the country's thriving economy and society, with a focus on sustainability and innovation.
The UAE has introduced the Blue Visa system, a 10-year residency visa for international nationals who contribute to environmental sustainability, aiming to strengthen its commitment to sustainability and attract professionals and innovators in the fields of sustainability, environmental protection, and climate change.
To apply for the Blue Visa, individuals must provide proof of contributions to sustainability initiatives, submit necessary documents, and meet financial and professional qualifications. The UAE's initiative is expected to attract top talent from around the world, including Pakistani professionals who can capitalize on the country's growing focus on sustainability. Meanwhile, Pakistani actors are being encouraged to take advantage of Dubai's golden visa, which allows individuals to live and work in the country for 10 years without a sponsor.
Asad Raza Khan, a Pakistani actor who has been granted a golden visa, believes that Dubai is an attractive destination for creative individuals, with a growing arts industry and increasing opportunities for international collaborations. He emphasizes the importance of having a strong work ethic and showcasing one's skills and experience to increase the chances of securing a golden visa. Khan also notes that Dubai is investing heavily in the arts, creating a number of projects that make it an ideal hub for South Asian talent and a gateway to international projects.

The space is backed by a $40.8 million fund and aims to bring 10,000 new creators to Dubai, offering exclusive perks and opportunities for networking and growth.
