The UAE’s Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) has launched a new 180-day multiple-entry visa. This visa is for people who live outside the UAE and are interested in applying for the Blue Residency Visa—a long-term visa for individuals who are making a big difference in protecting the environment.
The Blue Residency Visa gives a 10-year residency in the UAE. It is meant for people who are working in important areas such as environmental protection, sustainability, fighting climate change, and clean energy. Those who can apply include well-known environmental influencers, scientists (with approval from the UAE Scientists Council), investors, business owners, and professionals in green industries.
To make the process easier, the ICP has made it possible to apply for this visa online or through its mobile app. These services are available 24/7, so people from around the world can apply at any time. This new step shows the UAE’s commitment to welcoming and supporting individuals who are working to protect the planet.
