Unlike a standard UAE residence visa, the Outstanding Student Golden Visa does not depend on an employer or a company sponsor, and it allows you to stay outside the UAE for extended periods without losing residency. GoldenKey has Irish clients from Dublin, Cork and Galway, and our consultants understand the papers released in Ireland and how to attest them for the UAE. Irish nationals are a lively community of more than 10,000, strong in aviation leasing, construction, education and hospitality, so the Outstanding Student Golden Visa authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Irish applications every day and process them without hesitation.
