WhatsApp quoteDay to day, the Frontline Hero Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable UAE residence visa for frontline workers, including medical staff, who made exceptional efforts during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The Frontline Hero Golden Visa has become one of the most sought-after residency options in the world, and the criteria are clear once you know which authority approves your category.

In our experience, for Dutch founders, the UAE is around 7 hours from Amsterdam, the UAE is 2 to 3 hours ahead of the Netherlands, and English is used universally in both business cultures.
