Beyond the Golden Visa: the UAE Blue Residency, explained

От исследовательского отдела offplans.com · Дубай

The UAE’s residency toolkit keeps expanding. The Blue Residency — a 10-year, self-sponsored permit for individuals who have made exceptional contributions to environmental protection and sustainability — opened to public applications in 2025 and is fully active in 2026 , per Gulf News .

It sits alongside the property-linked Golden Visa (10 years from an AED 2M property, now including off-plan) and the skills-based Green Visa , giving residents multiple long-term pathways.

Почему это важно

A widening menu of long-term visas deepens the resident base — exactly the kind of stability that supports off-plan demand and rental income over a multi-year hold.
