If someone’s promising you a lifetime UAE Golden Visa over WhatsApp or a shady website, that’s your sign to run, habibi. The UAE doesn’t do guesswork when it comes to visas, especially the high-stakes Golden one. And now, the government’s stepping in to call out the nonsense.
UAE Busts ‘Lifetime’ Golden Visa Rumour, Don’t Fall For The Clickbait!
The UAE’s Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) has officially denied claims that certain nationalities are being granted lifetime Golden Visas. Turns out, some media outlets and foreign consultancy offices have been pushing this fantasy like it’s a Ramadan mega sale. No, it’s not.
According to the ICP, all the categories and conditions for getting a Golden Visa are clear, public, and set by actual laws and ministerial decisions. You can’t bypass the rules or upgrade your way to lifetime status through someone’s Telegram group. If you’re genuinely curious, just check the ICP website or app.
Don’t Be Fooled By The Flashy Promises
Here’s the twist: a foreign consultancy tried to claim that Golden Visas could be scored from outside the UAE through “simple conditions.” But not only is that false, it’s also dangerous. The UAE doesn’t recognise any external consultancy or commercial body for Golden Visa applications. So if someone’s waving a fake “fast-track” promise, they’re playing you.
And don’t think the ICP’s taking this lightly. They’re not just raising eyebrows—they’re ready to take legal action. Any party caught exploiting people’s dreams of living or investing in the UAE, just to swindle money with bogus schemes, is in deep trouble. This isn’t just a warning—it’s a full-blown crackdown.
Here’s What You Should Actually Do
The ICP is making one thing crystal clear: Only use official UAE government platforms to apply for the Golden Visa. No backdoor agents. No Instagram DMs. No random “Visa Gurus” on Facebook. If you’ve got questions or need help, call 600522222, it’s the ICP’s hotline and it’s 24/7..
Also, don’t go sharing personal info or money with anyone who claims they can hook you up with a special deal. That’s how people end up scammed and broke before even setting foot in the UAE.
So, before you chase some too-good-to-be-true deal, remember this: the UAE plays it straight. And certainly, no lifetime Golden Visas are up for grabs at a discount.

Trust The Source, Not The Hype Of Lifetime Golden Visa
The UAE has made it loud and clear, Golden Visas are earned, not sold through backdoor deals. If you’re serious about living, working, or investing here, go the legit route. Yalla, let’s keep it clean, clear, and credible.
