Compelling nomination narrative for Golden Visa (investor / specialised-talent / scientist / outstanding-student / inventor categories) emphasising UAE-anchored achievements and future contribution.
UAEGolden VisaSpecialised talentNominationCabinet Resolution 21/2022ICP
Draft a Golden Visa nomination narrative for [CLIENT_NAME] under Cabinet Resolution No. 21 of 2022 in the [CATEGORY] category, with endorsement from [ENDORSING_AUTHORITY]. This narrative will sit at the heart of the Golden Visa application package submitted to ICP / GDRFA Dubai.
UAE-SPECIFIC FRAMING
- Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable residence under Federal Decree-Law No. 22 of 2021 + Cabinet Resolution No. 21 of 2022.
- For "Specialised Talent" sub-categories, a UAE federal entity (Ministry / Department) must endorse - they issue a recommendation letter that is mandatory for the file.
- For "Investor" / "Property Investor" sub-categories, no Ministry endorsement is needed - title deed / fund certificate is the evidence.
- The narrative is the most important non-evidentiary document - it weaves the case for "this person is genuinely a Golden Visa-grade contributor to UAE Vision 2031 + Centennial 2071."
- Tone: confident, evidence-anchored, UAE-rooted - NOT a CV; this is a STRATEGIC contribution story.
- Bilingual Arabic-English recommended for Golden Visa packages (translation by Ministry-of-Justice-sworn translator).
