Educators in Dubai’s schools and universities will soon be able to apply for a Golden Visa, according to an announcement by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) on October 5. This long-term residency is being granted to teachers who have made ‘outstanding contributions’ to the emirate’s private education sector.
In a social media post, the Crown Prince of Dubai said: "On World Teachers' Day, we issued directives to grant the Golden Visa to educators who have made outstanding contributions to Dubai's private education sector. We deeply appreciate your efforts in nurturing young minds and instilling the values that will build tomorrow's leaders. You are key partners in shaping Dubai’s future and in achieving the visionary goals of the Education Strategy E33."
The Golden Visa is granted to outstanding educators working in early childhood centres, private schools, and international higher education institutions, as per a report by Khaleej Times. This recognition is based on their academic excellence, contributions to improving education quality, positive feedback from the educational community, and their efforts in helping students achieve better academic outcomes and accredited graduation qualifications.
Through this new initiative, Dubai aims to attract talented educators to the emirate, encouraging them to contribute to a bright future for education in the city.
Meanwhile, schools have also been urged to ensure compliance with the needed requirements before submitting individual applications to KHDA through the e-Services system.
The Golden Visa Program of Dubai permits internationals to acquire residency if they invest financially and meet the criteria.
