Golden Visa eligibility for tech professionals — what counts as 'specialized talent'?

The specialized-talents track requires either: (a) salary AED 30k+ with a recognised employer, valid employment contract, AND a recognised degree in a high-demand field (your case looks qualifying); OR (b) a Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security nomination based on impact. Apply through ICP with: salary certificate, employment contract, attested degree, last 6 months bank statements showing the salary deposits, and a recommendation letter from your employer. Decision in 4-6 weeks. Premium-residence track adds family sponsorship and 10-year validity.
