About UAE Citizenship for Expert Workers

UAE Citizenship for Expert WorkersAs of early 2021, the United Arab Emirates has made certain amendments allowing expert workers with special skills to obtain Emirati citizenship. This means that the expert worker, their spouse, and their children can live and work in the UAE with rights similar to Emirati citizens. Additionally, unlike some countries that require its citizens to forego their first nationality when obtaining their second, the UAE allows people to retain their first nationality and passport when obtaining Emirati citizenship. 

Conditions for Expert Workers

In order to qualify for citizenship as an expert worker, you must have certain skills desired by the UAE. This includes having long-term expertise as a doctor in a specialized field, a scientist, artist, etc, with a minimum of ten years in their work. The expert worker also needs to have made a special contribution in their area of work, including but not limited to important publications, receiving international awards, and more.
