Is UAE Issuing ‘New Golden Visa’ to Citizens of India and Bangladesh? UAE Govt Fact-Checks Fake Rumours About Lifetime Golden Visa for Certain Nationalities

Videos Team Latestly|

The UAE government has debunked recent news reports claiming it's issuing new "lifetime" Golden Visas to skilled citizens from India and Bangladesh via private consultants. Reports suggested Indians could obtain a visa for AED 100,000 (around INR 23.30 lakh) through a firm named Rayad Group. However, on Wednesday, July 9, the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security (ICP) dismissed these as baseless. The Authority for ICP clarified that no private consultancy is authorized for Golden Visa applications, which are handled exclusively through official government channels. The UAE government further said it will take legal action against entities spreading such false information.
