Dubai Golden Visa: Teachers Can Apply Starting October 15

The UAE is set to open applications for the Golden Visa to qualified teachers in Dubai’s private education sector starting October 15, 2024. This initiative, announced to coincide with World Teachers’ Day, aims to acknowledge the vital role of educators in shaping the future. The Golden Visa allows long-term residency without requiring a local sponsor, enabling teachers to live and work in the UAE more freely.

Eligible applicants will be selected based on their academic qualifications and contributions to the education sector. This initiative aligns with Dubai's Education Strategy 2033, which seeks to improve the quality of education and attract top talent in the teaching profession.

The Golden Visa program reflects the UAE's commitment to fostering a robust educational environment by recognizing and rewarding skilled educators. By providing these residency permits, the government hopes to retain high-quality teachers and enhance the overall education system.

This move also positions Dubai as an attractive destination for international educators, potentially improving the quality of teaching and learning within the emirate. As the program rolls out, it is expected to bolster the educational landscape in Dubai and further support its long-term educational goals.
