Dubai Offers Golden Visas To Content Creators!
Dubai is now allowing content creators to apply for a golden visa
Dubai is rolling out the red carpet for global content creators with the launch of the Creators HQ at Emirates Towers. The hub, backed by a hefty AED 150 million ($40.8 million) Content Creators Support Fund, is designed to attract 10,000 influencers and creative professionals to the UAE.
Among the many perks, the UAE Golden Visa stands out as a game-changer, offering creators five to ten years of residency without the hassle of regular renewal or a national sponsor.
A one-stop hub for content creators
The Creators HQ isn’t your typical co-working space. It’s a full-service hub providing everything a content creator needs to thrive. Members can expect:
- Golden Visa Assistance: Simplified applications for long-term UAE residency

- Company Setup Services: Help with registering and establishing your business in the UAE
The launch coincided with the 1 Billion Followers Summit, a star-studded event attended by over 15,000 creators, 420 speakers, and 125 CEOs and industry experts. Themed “Content for Good,” the summit highlighted the growing importance of meaningful and positive digital content.
