UAE Clarifies Residency Rules for Dependants Following Golden Visa Holder’s Death
The UAE Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security confirmed that dependants sponsored by a primary Golden Visa holder are not required to leave the country immediately upon the holder's death. Sponsored family members may legally remain in the UAE until their valid residency permits expire. The 10-year Golden Visa permits holders to sponsor spouses, domestic workers, and children of any age.
