Dubai Golden Visa: Yes, you read that correctly. If you know what “Up, Down, Up, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start” means, then you could unlock a 10-year Golden Residency Visa in Dubai.
This visa is the ultimate reward for professionals in the gaming industry. It offers long-term residency without the need for frequent renewals.
The Golden Visa is the pinnacle of living in Dubai, granting a long-term stay that frees you from the regular hassle of visa renewals. But to qualify, you must meet exceptionally high standards in your field, and the gaming visa is no exception.
The gaming industry is a global giant, valued at hundreds of billions of dollars annually—far outpacing the music and film industries combined. Recognizing this, Dubai is strategically moving to become a key player in this lucrative sector.
The city government has launched the Dubai Program For Gaming 2033, which aims to attract talent, content, and technology to the emirate. Dubai’s ambitious goal is to boost its GDP by AED 3.6 billion (approximately $1 billion) by 2033, creating 30,000 jobs in the gaming industry.
While the gaming visa sounds exciting, it’s important to note that it targets professionals involved in creating games rather than those who excel at playing them.
Here’s what you need to qualify:
Note that this visa is not designed for eSports athletes or gaming champions but for those who create and develop the games.
Once you’ve completed these steps, submit your application and await email notification regarding your success.
If you receive accreditation from Dubai Culture, you can then proceed with the golden visa application. This coveted visa offers long-term residency and positions you at the forefront of Dubai’s burgeoning gaming industry.
Good luck, gamers!
