Very Low for traditional PR, but Strong for long-term residency via the Golden Visa. The UAE does not offer permanent residency or citizenship in the conventional sense. Instead, it offers long-term, renewable ‘Golden Visas’ to exceptional talent, including high-achieving students.
For long-term stability, achieving the academic excellence required for the Golden Visa is the single most important factor. For everyone else, securing and maintaining stable employment is the only way to reside in the UAE long-term.
