With the UAE Web3 Talent Visa, you gain access to the UAE banking system, which offers stable and reliable banking services. You can establish a bank account with ease and benefit from the UAE's progressive banking regulations supporting crypto and Web3 entrepreneurs.
How does the cost of the Web3 Talent Visa compare to having a normal business visa?
The Web3 Talent Visa is a one-time cost, offering 10 years of residency without needing to tie it to an employer or renew annually. A standard business visa, in comparison, usually requires opening a company, paying annual renewal fees, and adhering to ongoing operational expenses like office rent. For business visas, annual costs can range from $5,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the business setup and requirements.
The Web3 Talent Visa saves you from these recurring expenses, offering peace of mind and flexibility without the burden of renewing your visa each year.
What are the dangers of obtaining a visa through informal sponsorship?
Obtaining an employment visa through informal channels, such as through acquaintances / friends is risky. When you’re sponsored by someone else, especially under an employment visa, you are legally bound to their sponsorship. This means that if any disputes arise, they fall under the jurisdiction of the labor court, which can complicate matters for you. If your sponsor has control over your visa and legal status, they also hold influence over your residency, employment rights, and even your ability to freely leave your job.
With the Web3 Talent Visa, you are in full control of your residency, avoiding any legal entanglements related to sponsorship.
What is the process for applying for the Web3 Talent Visa?
- Submit Application: Submit your application online along with a $500 review fee.
- Case Review: Your application will be reviewed, and a tailored proposal will be sent to you.
- Immigration Formalities: Once approved, you must visit the UAE for approximately two weeks to complete immigration steps.

No, unlike other residency programs, the Web3 Talent Visa does not require you to own property or meet specific salary thresholds.
