Closing down a company that allegedly helped investors obtain the country's citizenship

Inspectors in the commercial supervision and consumer protection sector, affiliated to the Dubai Economy, closed a commercial office in the emirate, claiming its ability to assist businessmen in obtaining UAE citizenship.

Dubai Economy said that the company is an office for immigration services that misleads investors and deludes them of the possibility of helping them obtain the citizenship of the United Arab Emirates after demanding payment of $ 10,000, in exchange for reviewing the application for obtaining Emirati citizenship and providing advice on the readiness of the application and its compliance with the requirements and laws that no less His wealth is more than 100 million dirhams, and then the investor can apply for citizenship in the concerned authorities, which is clearly misleading as the law on granting citizenship did not specify specific amounts or the mechanism for submitting naturalization applications.

Last January, the UAE announced legal amendments that allow granting the Emirati citizenship and passport to investors, talented and specialized scientists, doctors, engineers, artists, intellectuals and their families by nominating qualified personalities through the cabinet, local bureaus and executive councils.

Dubai Economy affirmed that it will not hesitate to take strict measures against any office or commercial establishment that exploits this matter, and asks residents in the country, investors and other groups to be cautious of these practices and report them immediately by calling 600545555 or by sending a note via the Dubai consumer application available at Apple, Google and Huawei store.
