It’s barely been a week since granting permanent residency in Dubai was announced, but the people haven’t been able to STOP talking about it.

The granting of permanent residency has been a long-awaited dream for non-Emirati residents of the city.

The Golden Card, as announced by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, will be giving out the ‘golden card status’ for investors and entrepreneurs to be granted permanent residency in the UAE. The best part is they no longer have to be Emirati to be given this.

Are you shook, or are you SHOOK?
