The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has introduced a new long-term residency program known as ‘Blue Residency’, which offers 10-year visas to individuals recognized for their contributions and efforts towards environmental protection.
This also includes sustainability efforts both within and beyond the UAE.
The country launched this residency scheme as part of its initiatives to designate 2024 as the year of sustainability.
The emphasis on sustainability was carried over into 2024 following a year marked by environmental themes, during which residents were encouraged to engage in sustainable practices.
About the Blue Residency program
The Blue Residency will be awarded to advocates of environmental initiatives, such as members of international firms, organizations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs); recipients of global awards; and notable activists and researchers dedicated to environmental causes.
