The Ras Al Khaimah Department of Knowledge (RAK DOK) has introduced a Golden Visa program for educators working in both public and private schools within the Emirate.
The program offers eligible professionals the opportunity to secure long-term residency in the UAE through self-sponsorship. The Golden Visa program is designed to attract and retain outstanding talent in the education sector, including school principals, teachers, and leaders within schools in Ras Al Khaimah.
Dr. Abdulrahman Al Naqbi, RAK DOK Board Member, said that, “This initiative recognizes the critical role that educators play in improving the quality of education for all students in Ras Al Khaimah,” said.
“The program acknowledges the invaluable contributions of teachers and is consistent with our overarching objective of establishing a world-class education system in Ras Al Khaimah. By qualifying top educators for long-term residency, we reaffirm our dedication to nurturing a robust educational environment that fosters talent and innovation, further enhancing our educational offerings and ensuring the continued success of our students,” he added.
The Ras Al Khaimah Golden Visa Program is open to two main categories of educators: “School Leaders”, including principals, vice principals, and school directors, and “Teachers”, encompassing all qualified educators currently employed in public and private schools in Ras Al Khaimah.
As the regulatory authority for private sector education in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, RAK DOK will streamline the application process to qualify applicants based on specific criteria. This includes a minimum of three years of residency and employment in Ras Al Khaimah, a relevant advanced degree, and a demonstrated positive impact on their school’s performance.
The application process developed by RAK DOK has been designed to ensure efficiency and ease of navigation for applicants; for further information, please visit Ras Al Khaimah Educators Golden Visa, as per the statement.
