The Thrive in Abu Dhabi campaign aims to develop key areas in Abu Dhabi including culture, healthcare, media and entertainment, research and development and real estate.
Encouraging key workers to come and set up in Abu Dhabi, new long-term visas have been launched to invite talented professionals and their families to the country.
Long-term visas are already available for professionals working in a variety of sectors including sport, healthcare, science, education and engineering.
Now, a new creative visa has been launched to attract those who can ‘preserve and sustain Abu Dhabi’s cultural heritage, increase awareness of, and engagement with, cultural heritage and the arts, stimulate creativity as a driver for education and social change, build and enable capacity in Abu Dhabi’s culture sector and contribute to economic growth and diversification’.
The Thrive in Abu Dhabi campaign is also seeking students with a PHD or displaying scientific acumen, innovators, those with skills in AI, coding and epidemiology, entrepreneurs, tourism and real estate.
Recently, Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED) also announced that UAE citizens, residents and non-resident can apply for freelance licenses in the UAE.
