JSB advisory has processed Golden Visa applications for over 250 individuals in the past

six months, with notable increases in specific professional categories. Keswani

anticipates further programme expansion: “Yes, definitely — especially in areas like AI,
climate tech, IoT, and cloud computing.”

Recent months have shown particular growth in applications from:

Private banking professionals managing significant portfolios
AI consultants working on large-scale implementation projects
Cloud computing experts supporting digital transformation initiatives
Climate technology specialists developing sustainable solutions

Asia-Pacific Talent Pipeline

The UAE has successfully positioned itself as an attractive destination for Asia-Pacific
professionals seeking international opportunities. The Golden Visa programme’s

flexibility particularly appeals to senior executives who can maintain global business

interests whilst establishing UAE residency.

“Senior professionals like CEOs and CTOs with substantial income can invest in property

here, obtain residency, and manage their assets independently,” notes Keswani. This

independence, combined with the UAE’s strategic location and business-friendly

environment, creates compelling value propositions for high-calibre professionals.

Economic Impact and Long-Term Vision

The Golden Visa programme’s evolution reflects the UAE’s broader economic
transformation strategy. By prioritising value creation over capital volume, the country

aims to build sustainable competitive advantages in emerging technology sectors.

This approach aligns with national strategies including the UAE Artificial Intelligence

Strategy 2031, the National Climate Change Plan, and various smart city initiatives

across the Emirates. The Golden Visa programme serves as a critical talent acquisition

tool supporting these ambitious national objectives.
