The UAE has unveiled a new initiative offering content creators and influencers a 10-year Golden Visa under the newly launched Creators HQ, an incubation hub aimed at helping creative professionals expand their global reach.

The programme welcomes a diverse range of talent, including social media influencers, digital content creators, podcasters, and visual artists. It also extends to creative industry professionals such as advertising and marketing firms, media and music producers, animation studios, and fashion and lifestyle brands.

In collaboration with leading brands such as Meta, TikTok, and X, the programme offers exclusive benefits, including assistance with visa applications, relocation support, and company registration. The initiative aims to attract 10,000 influencers and establish the UAE as a key destination for digital media.

The UAE Golden Visa provides residency for ten years without requiring renewal or a local sponsor. Content creators—ranging from social media influencers to filmmakers, photographers, and writers—are eligible to apply.

Applications can be submitted via the Creators HQ website. Candidates will be reviewed under the "Content Creators and Creative Talent" category, with successful applicants receiving a nomination email with further instructions.
