Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and the Abu Dhabi Residents Office (ADRO), a sector of the emirate’s department of economic development, have signed a partnership agreement, which among other things, will provide the latter access to submit nominations for the Abu Dhabi Golden Visa programme.
As part of the agreement, there will be a provision of a number of digital services related to visas via ADGM’s web portal ACCESSADGM, including the support of nominations for the Abu Dhabi Golden Visa, and the exploration of new opportunities that will benefit the two sides.
ADRO was established to support the needs of the multinational community in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi by way of streamlining processes and offering residents direct access to smart services, information, guides, and a lucrative partner network.
The agreement also envisages ADGM providing ADRO access to a comprehensive list of global companies so that it can provide exclusive benefits for the Abu Dhabi Golden Visa holders, such as investors and entrepreneurs.
The two parties will also collaborate to highlight the strategic initiatives of ADRO, including the promotion of the Abu Dhabi Golden Visa and other initiatives locally and internationally for attracting and retaining top talent in the emirate, in addition to joint marketing activities through several digital and direct channels.
Hareb Mubarak Al Mheiri, executive director of ADRO said the strategic partnership with ADGM would allow the office to access a large number of global companies and its diverse community of residents in the Emirate.
“We will make sure to provide the best smart services for the ADGM community and provide all forms of support to facilitate their affairs and improve their quality of life and wellbeing in the emirate,” he said.
The ADGM community has been growing at an exponential rate, with more than 4200 global companies, SMEs, tech start-ups and leading financial institutions establishing their headquarters and branches in the capital city of the UAE.
