The UAE has officially denied recent rumours suggesting that lifetime Golden Visas are being offered to specific nationalities. The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) issued a clear statement saying such claims are false and misleading. Officials confirmed that all Golden Visa procedures follow legal guidelines and are available only through the government’s official platforms.
According to the ICP, Golden Visa applications can only be submitted through its official website or mobile app. The Authority emphasized that no consultancy firm—whether local or foreign—is authorized to handle applications on behalf of individuals. Any claims made outside these platforms are unauthorized and should be ignored.
The clarification was issued after several foreign consultancies falsely advertised simplified visa services, including lifetime Golden Visas for multiple categories. However, the ICP stated that these offers were made without the approval or coordination of UAE authorities. The government reaffirmed that it had not introduced any new lifetime visa option for specific nationalities.
To protect applicants from scams, the ICP urged the public to avoid falling for unofficial advertisements or paying unnecessary fees. It warned against sharing personal documents with agencies not officially recognized by the UAE government. Legal action will be taken against anyone involved in spreading false information or attempting to defraud applicants.
Furthermore, the Authority advised individuals interested in moving to or investing in the UAE to use only verified government sources. All updates, eligibility details, and application processes are available on the ICP’s digital platforms. For help, people can also contact the Authority’s 24/7 helpline at 600522222.
With this warning, the UAE continues to promote transparency and public safety. The government remains committed to providing accurate, trustworthy information while protecting people from fraud related to immigration and visa services.
