      Salman Khan and other Indian celebrities receive Golden Visas from Abu Dhabi

      Salman Khan and other Indian celebrities receive Golden Visas from Abu Dhabi
      ShareTweetPostEmail

      Twofour54 Abu Dhabi organised the visa process for the recipients, who were nominated by the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and the Abu Dhabi Film Commission.

      Abu Dhabi has announced that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and some of the biggest names in Indian cinema have been granted Golden Visas, reflecting the strong ties between the UAE and Indian creative industries.

      The visas were granted during the 22nd edition of IIFA Weekend & Awards, which took place on June 4 at the Etihad Arena, Yas Island.

      IIFA has worked alongside the Abu Dhabi Film Commission to facilitate the process of Golden visa issuance to some of the leading film industry members. The Golden Visas were issued during the IIFA weekend itself to reflect the commitment from both the organisers and Abu Dhabi’s creative industry to build a legacy that goes beyond the success of the awards weekend.

      Among those receiving the 10-year visas alongside Salman Khan are Indian superstars Divya Kumar, Genelia Deshmukh, Riteish Deshmukh, Bhushan Kumar, Anees Bazmee and Andre Timmins.

      As well as being a long-stay residency permit, the Golden Visa offers the flexibility to work across Abu Dhabi and the UAE and does not require the holder to have a sponsor. The recipients were nominated by the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) – which oversees applications from professionals in visual arts, publishing, performing arts, design and crafts, heritage, gaming & esports and media – and the Abu Dhabi Film Commission (ADFC), with the visas processed by twofour54 Abu Dhabi.

      Khan, whose films Bharat, Race 3, and Tiger Zinda Hai were all shot in Abu Dhabi with support from the Abu Dhabi Film Commission, hosted the IIFA Awards held in collaboration with DCT Abu Dhabi, ADFC, and Miral.

      Speaking about granting the visa, HE Saood Abdulaziz Al Hosani, Undersecretary of DCT Abu Dhabi, said: “The film and TV sector is one of the cornerstones of Abu Dhabi’s Culture and Creative Industries, which are key drivers of social and economic growth and diversification for the Emirate. The Golden Visa forms a key part of Abu Dhabi’s AED 30+bn CCI investment strategy and we are delighted to be able to offer these long-term visas to our colleagues in the Indian film industry – especially Salman Khan who shares a deep bond with the Emirate. It is a reflection of the long and strong relationship between the thriving film & TV sectors in Abu Dhabi and India as well as our dedication to strengthen that relationship even more.”

      Salman Khan added: “I am honoured to receive a Golden Visa from Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi has always been a second home for me, and I have enjoyed shooting some of my favourite projects here. It was great to celebrate our film industry during the IIFA weekend in a place that has shown us so much support over the past few years.  Now with my Golden Visa, I look forward to returning to work here in the very near future.”

      Abu Dhabi Film Commissioner Hans Fraikin stated: “Abu Dhabi is an exciting location for filmmakers with a robust ecosystem that allows local and international projects to flourish. The Golden Visa allows talented individuals like Salman Khan and his fellow actors, directors and producers, to realise their creative visions here by harnessing the array of locations and facilities, as well as the incredible local talent.”

      Noreen Khan, Vice President of IIFA, commented: “IIFA is all about building and strengthening relationships with the host destinations. In continuation of the success of having the film industry visit Abu Dhabi for the 2022 IIFA Awards, we are keen to build a legacy that prevails and to be able to make Abu Dhabi a second home for the industry members. Therefore, we are pleased that the facilitation to our key stars with the Golden Visa at IIFA will help present the opportunity for them to be able to return with ease for more film productions and increase the business of overseas filming in Abu Dhabi.”

      The Golden Visa supports talent across multiple domains, including the Culture and Creative Industries. The programme provides sustainable employment opportunities in Abu Dhabi by enabling talented creative professionals from around the world to live and work in the UAE, further bolstering the creative scene in the emirate. Since the process began, twofour54 has supported the UAE’s Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship in the issuance of more than 700 Golden Visas in Abu Dhabi over the past few months, attracting world-class creative talent to the emirate. Twofour54 is also expected to roll out 300 more Golden Visas throughout the remainder of the year.

      In total, more than 130 major productions have benefited from the Abu Dhabi Film Commission’s 30% cashback rebate on production spending in the emirate since it was introduced in 2013. ADFC also offers a full range of support services on permits, visas, script approval, customs clearance and shooting permits, as well as scouting assistance for the incredible array of diverse locations in Abu Dhabi.
