Indians Can Now Secure UAE Golden Visa Remotely Without Traveling
This initiative aims to simplify the application process for eligible Indian applicants by providing expert guidance on the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa programme. Designed for skilled professionals, investors, entrepreneurs, creatives, and business owners, the visa offers extended residency without the usual requirements to establish a company or invest in property.
While previous applications generally required candidates to be present in the UAE, this service enables Indian applicants to initiate and complete the nomination and pre-approval steps remotely. Final visa approval, however, still necessitates travel to the UAE.
The immigration advisory service is provided through VFS Global's Education, Trade & Migration (ETM) unit in collaboration with the Rayad Group. Accessible online or via phone, it operates across major Indian cities including New Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Pune.
Applicants are evaluated based on their professional qualifications, financial status, educational background, and alignment with one of the UAE's eligible Golden Visa categories. Eligible candidates include business owners, scientists, professionals in key sectors, artists, influencers, creatives, and entrepreneurs contributing to the UAE's innovation and economy.
Required documentation includes a personal and professional profile, passport copy, highest academic qualification, six months of bank statements, valid proof of address, and a police clearance certificate.
Golden Visa holders can sponsor their spouses, adult children, parents, and household staff, facilitating family relocation without the need for property investment or company formation.
Interested applicants can access the service via the official portal at www.onevasco.com/ind/en/immigration/uae-golden-visa.html or by calling the dedicated helpline at +91-22-62018483.
The advisory programme operates through Centres of Excellence jointly established by VFS Global and Rayad Group in select Indian cities. These centres leverage legal expertise and advanced generative AI technology to streamline the application process and ensure compliance with UAE immigration regulations.
Yummi Talwar, Chief Operating Officer – South Asia at VFS Global, said, 'We recognize strong demand for immigration advisory services, especially for the UAE Golden Visa. This solution empowers applicants to make informed decisions, aligning with our customer-first approach.'
Rayad Kamal Ayub, Managing Director of Rayad Group, added, 'The UAE's blend of economic stability, safety, world-class infrastructure, and favorable tax policies makes it a top choice for high-net-worth individuals seeking an improved quality of life.'

No Golden Visa For Crypto: UAE Issues Official Warning
DUBAI, July 7: UAE authorities have firmly denied claims that investors in the cryptocurrency Toncoin are eligible for the country's prestigious Golden Visa. In an official joint statement, the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP), the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), and the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) clarified that Golden Visas are issued based on well-defined and approved criteria. These criteria do not include investments in digital currencies. The Golden Visa — a long-term residency program — is granted to select categories, including real estate investors, entrepreneurs, exceptional talents, scientists and specialists, top-performing students and graduates, humanitarian pioneers, and frontline workers, according to the ICP. The clarification follows recent claims by Max Crown, CEO of the Ton Foundation, who stated on the social media platform X that holders of Toncoin could obtain a 10-year UAE Golden Visa by staking the cryptocurrency and paying a one-time fee of $35,000, subject to other conditions. However, VARA categorically stated that Toncoin is neither licensed nor regulated by the authority, and that any licensed company must follow Dubai's official visa procedures. The SCA warned investors and the public against misleading information, emphasizing that specific regulations govern digital asset investments and are not tied to Golden Visa eligibility. It urged individuals to rely only on licensed and regulated entities for financial dealings. All three authorities advised the public to verify information through official government websites or trusted communication channels and to avoid interacting with unauthorized promotions or advertisements circulating online.
