The United Arab Emirates has adopted amendments that would allow the Gulf state to grant citizenship to investors, innovators, artists and other professionals including scientists, doctors and their families, the government said on January 30, 2021.

“The UAE cabinet, local courts and executive councils will nominate those eligible for the citizenship under clear criteria set for each category,” Dubai’s ruler and UAE Vice President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said in a Twitter post. “The law allows receivers of the UAE passport to keep their existing citizenship.”

The first major change to the UAE nationality law No.17 of 1972 on Nationality and Passports, represents a milestone in the Arab world, which usually restrict the nationalization process to a very limited cases and mostly bans dual citizenship.

Foreigners in the UAE usually have renewable visas valid for only a few years tied to employment. The government in recent has made its visa policy more flexible, offering longer residencies for certain types of investors, students and professionals.

The UAE has taken several steps recently to ensure the social stability of those with long time residency in the country and those who contribute to the well being and development of the society through the introduction in 2019 of the permanent residency scheme, which allowed for granting 5 and 10 year ‘Golden Visas’ to certain categories of residents. Thousands of people have been given the Gold Visa in the past two years, including investors, medical professionals, engineers, scientists and specialized talents.
