The UAE’s Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) is calling on global investors, entrepreneurs, and skilled professionals to take advantage of the country’s Business Opportunities Visa. The initiative is aimed at attracting top talent and financial backers to explore business ventures in the UAE. The visa offers single or multiple-entry options, with a total stay not exceeding 180 days. This provides business professionals ample time to assess investment opportunities and establish commercial connections in the UAE. To qualify for the visa, applicants must meet four key conditions: they must be professionals in their respective industries, possess a passport valid for more than six months, have health insurance coverage within the UAE, and hold a confirmed onward travel ticket. Major General Suhail Saeed Al Khaili, Director General of the ICP, highlighted that the UAE has developed a comprehensive business-friendly ecosystem. "With world-class infrastructure, legal frameworks, and advanced logistical services, the UAE is a prime destination for entrepreneurs looking to expand their business footprints," he said. He further noted that the visa allows flexibility in travel, with validity options of 60, 90, or 120 days. "This initiative is part of the UAE’s broader efforts to attract global investments and foster economic growth through innovation and strategic projects," he added. Business leaders interested in the visa can apply through the official ICP portal or the General Directorate for Identity and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai. ICA/Expat Media
