UAE Introduces 10-Year Golden Visa for Nigerians and Global Humanitarian Donors

The UAE has launched a 10-year Golden Visa program for Nigerians and global donors who financially support humanitarian projects through Islamic endowments. This initiative, announced at the Gitex Global 2025 event in Dubai, aims to deepen the UAE's commitment to promoting global philanthropy and sustainable social impact.

Individuals donating at least $450,000 to a certified humanitarian project or waqf endowment will qualify for the visa. The process involves submitting details through the GDRFA smart service portal and undergoing a review by a joint committee.

Successful applicants will enjoy various privileges under this extended visa framework.
