The I Visa is a type of non-immigrant visa allowing bona fide foreign nationals who serve to be the representatives of radio, foreign press, film, and other forms of foreign information media to enter the United States concerning the production of news-worthy events or documentaries.
Video editors, film crew, reporters, employees of independent production companies, freelance journalists working under a contract, and other individuals of a similar professional background can apply for I Visa. Both film and print activities are included in the given category. The media you represent should have an established office back in the native country.
There is no limitation on the overall stay in the United States with I Visa. You can look forward to staying for an unlimited period of time with the help of one-year visa extensions. You should, however, continue serving in the same position for which you have been granted the I Visa.

In the UAE, the "Golden Visa" is a smart service provided by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security. The Golden Residency system allows expatriates and their families to live, work, and study in the UAE with long-term residency without needing a local sponsor. The residency is automatically renewable and plays a vital role in attracting talented individuals, entrepreneurs, investors, and specialists, thereby supporting the growth and success of businesses in the country.
Up to 2 to 3 weeks from application.
If you are an investor, entrepreneur, specialized talent, researcher, outstanding student, or skilled professional, you may be eligible for the UAE Golden Visa.

It’s an ideal pathway for individuals looking to build a future in the UAE while enjoying stability and opportunity.
UAE Golden Visa holders can sponsor their dependents, including their spouse, children, and domestic workers. Sons can be sponsored up to the age of 25, while unmarried daughters can be sponsored with no age limit. Spouses are eligible without age restrictions, and an unlimited number of domestic helpers may also be sponsored. In some cases, parents can be sponsored as well, typically under a renewable 1-year visa. All dependents receive residency linked to the duration of the primary Golden Visa holder’s 5- or 10-year visa.
