The Outstanding Student Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable UAE residence visa for top-performing high school students in the UAE and university graduates with a high GPA from a recognised institution. The most common businesses Austrians open through GoldenKey are in engineering, hospitality, construction technology and trading, although Outstanding Student Golden Visa supports almost any activity. Austrians are a small community of engineers, hospitality managers and traders, so the Outstanding Student Golden Visa authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Austrian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
