In a move aimed at promoting excellence in education and attracting top talent, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced the introduction of the highly coveted Golden Visa for exceptional students.
The prestigious Golden visa will grant long-term residency to students who have demonstrated remarkable academic achievements and a commitment to excelling in their educational pursuits.
UAE Golden Visa For Students
High school students who have achieved a remarkable score of 95 percent or above will be granted the esteemed Golden Visa, according to an official statement released by the UAE government’s state news agency, WAM.
This special recognition is a testament to the students’ unwavering dedication, relentless efforts, and determination in their pursuit of knowledge.
Extending Benefits to Families
The benefits of the Golden Visa will not be limited to the students alone; their families will also be able to enjoy the exclusive privileges offered by this prestigious residency visa.
This provision reinforces the UAE’s commitment to supporting and fostering a nurturing environment for families, as they play a crucial role in supporting and encouraging educational excellence.
Honouring University Achievers
In addition to high school students, the UAE government will also extend the opportunity for university students to obtain a Golden Visa. To qualify, students must have achieved an honours grade with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5 or 3.75.
This provision applies to both local and international university students, further enhancing the country’s reputation as a sought-after destination for academic pursuits.
