More than 30,000 UAE Frontline Heroes have been awarded Golden Visas in recognition of their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The recipients were nominated for the 10-year residency visa by the various health authorities in the country.

Sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Frontline Heroes Office, said that the Office will continue to work with key entities to grant the visas to those who helped protect the public during the pandemic.

The Office coordinates closely with the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security to implement the directives of the UAE leadership.

A number of Frontline Heroes have expressed their gratitude and appreciation to President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan for the visas, which they say will significantly enhance their professional, family and social stability.
