Four tracks — not one figure
The official u.ae page confirms the category itself but does not publish specific track requirements — those are confirmed only by independent sources, stated explicitly below.
What the process consists of
For the executive track, a minimum 2 years specifically in the current role was added in February 2025 — a separate condition on top of the general 5-year management-experience requirement.
How the process runs

Frequent questions
Why does the site show AED50,000 if u.ae doesn’t state that figure?
The official u.ae page confirms the Outstanding Specialised Talents category itself but does not publish salary thresholds — the AED50,000/month figure is confirmed by convergence of several independent immigration sources, stated explicitly in the sources section.
What’s the difference between AED30,000 and AED50,000?
AED30,000/month is the threshold for the standard "skilled professional" Golden Visa category, separate from Outstanding Specialised Talents. AED50,000/month is specifically the executive track of this category, higher and requiring additional conditions (degree, 5 years’ experience, 2 years in the current role).
Can a doctor get this visa without any salary threshold?
Yes — per the available data, the doctor track is nomination-based: it requires approval from the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention, and salary is not mentioned as a condition.
What is the "2 years in the current role" requirement?
Added in February 2025 as a separate condition on top of the general 5 years of management experience — per the available data, it specifically concerns tenure in the current role, not any prior position.
Is a sponsoring employer required for this visa?
No — a key advantage of the Golden Visa overall (including this category) is that status is not tied to a single employer, unlike standard UAE work visas.
What if there’s no approval from the relevant authority for a nomination track?
Without formal approval (Ministry of Health for doctors, Emirates Council of Scientists for scientists, the emirate’s department of culture for cultural figures) the track is unavailable — high qualification alone does not substitute for nomination.
