In a significant step toward cultivating a culture of sustainability, the UAE Cabinet has greenlit a UAE’s 10 year blue residence visa for individuals who have made exceptional contributions to environmental protection.

This decision was announced by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, following a Cabinet meeting at Qasr Al Watan in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, May 15, 2024.

The Prime Minister of the UAE stressed how important it is for the country to protect the environment. He said that the economy and the environment are connected, so they need to take care of both. The UAE is determined to use the latest technology and improve education to make sure they do a good job of looking after the environment.

During the UAE’s sustainability year (2023–2024), they introduced the Blue Visa, which fits well with their goals of protecting the environment and using resources wisely. Here’s what you should know about it.

What Is UAE’s 10 Year Blue Residence Visa?

The UAE started a program called the ‘Blue Residency’ for people who work hard to protect the environment. It gives them a special visa that lasts for 10 years. This program is meant to support efforts to take care of the environment, both in the UAE and around the world.

Following the President’s decision to continue the 2023 Year of Sustainability, this effort focuses on promoting sustainability both in and outside the UAE. By supporting people who work hard to protect the environment, the UAE is continuing its efforts to be more environmentally friendly in the future.

The Blue Visa is a special permit for people who have done impressive work in different environmental areas like protecting oceans, forests, and air quality, as well as using sustainable technology and promoting recycling.

How Do You Apply?

Eligible individuals are encouraged to apply for the Blue Visa through the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP), and relevant authorities may also nominate them for consideration. The UAE’s 10 year blue residence visa offers recipients long-term residency in the UAE, opportunities for collaboration on environmental projects, access to funding and resources, and acknowledgement for their contributions to environmental protection.

“I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

“In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

“After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
