The United Arab Emirates has announced an amendment to the Executive Regulation of the Federal Law concerning Nationality and Passports allowing investors, professionals, special talents, and their families to acquire the Emirati nationality and passport under certain conditions.
The decision is aimed at attracting more people to the Emirate community in a way that will add value to the development and prosperity of the country.
Those who fall into the categories of acquiring the Emirati nationality include investors, doctors, specialists, scientists, talents, intellectuals, artists, and their spouse and children. Meanwhile, the amendments still allow retaining the current nationality.
To qualify for the citizenship, Doctors and specialists must be specialized in a unique scientific discipline or any other scientific principles that are highly required in the Emirates. The applicant must have acknowledged scientific contributions and a practical experience of 10 years minimum.
Scientists are required to be an active researcher in a university or research center or in the private sector, with a practical experience of at least 10 years in the same field.
Inventors who are willing to acquire Emirati citizenship are required to obtain one or more patents that are approved by the UAE Ministry of Economy or any other reputable international body, in addition to a recommendation letter from the Economy Ministry.
