How Can People Apply?
Anyone who believes they qualify for the Blue Visa can apply through the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Ports Security (ICP). Additionally, UAE-based organizations working in sustainability can nominate individuals for this visa.

To make the process easy, the UAE has introduced a digital system where government agencies can submit applications. This system will help ensure a smooth approval process through the ICP’s official website.

UAE’s Commitment to Sustainability
The launch of the Blue Visa reflects the UAE’s ongoing commitment to sustainability. The country has already introduced long-term residency options like the Golden Visa and Green Visa, which support professionals, investors, and skilled workers. Now, with the Blue Visa, the UAE aims to encourage more people to contribute to global environmental efforts.

This move strengthens the UAE’s position as a leader in environmental action and recognizes individuals who are making a real difference in protecting the planet.
