Dubai has been profound in promoting creative talents and giving them a platform to grow their skills. Thus, to attract more creative people to the region, Dubai Culture is offering long-term visas.

Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture) has announced that creative entrepreneurs, talents, and craftsmen in Al Quoz can now apply for the long-term cultural visa approved in 2019 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

The initiative has been put forward to encourage the individuals from the creative field to settle in Dubai as well as provide them with the opportunity to flourish and engage with the development process in the region.

The cultural visa step aims to encourage many to contribute towards achieving Dubai’s cultural vision. Through this, Dubai can enhance the cultural and creative economy as well as create a sustainable society that appeals to and embraces the most important Arab and international creative energies and talents.

For the initiative, Dubai Culture has been inviting all target groups in Al Quoz to submit their applications to obtain the cultural visa by sending the required documents.

Documents like academic qualifications, community contributions, and job positions, in addition to a copy of their passports, a copy of their Emirates ID, their cultural biographies, contact numbers, addresses, and places of residence and work are required to apply for the visa.

Not just that, Dubai Culture is also working on providing a cohesive environment for talents in Al Quoz Creative Zone, which will enable them to unleash their energies and creative work.

Al Quoz Creative Zone will also offer many advantages like multi-purpose spaces containing studios for creatives to work, live and create at affordable prices, creative workspaces that provide an independent and supportive environment for talents through spaces and experiences that combine creativity, innovative ideas, and common goals.
