Ras Al Khaimah Department of Knowledge (RAK DOK) has launched a Golden Visa programme aimed at private school educators residing in the Emirate. 

 

The programme grants dedicated professionals, who meet a set criteria, the ability to become self-sponsored by obtaining a long-term residency in the UAE. The golden visa was designed to attract and retain exceptional talent in the educational sector, including school principals, teachers, and leaders within schools in Ras Al Khaimah.  

 

“This initiative recognises the critical role that educators play in improving the quality of education for all students in Ras Al Khaimah,” said Dr Abdulrahman Al Naqbi, RAK DOK Board Member. “The programme acknowledges the invaluable contributions of teachers and is consistent with our overarching objective of establishing a world-class education system in Ras Al Khaimah. By qualifying top educators for long-term residency, we reaffirm our dedication to nurturing a robust educational environment that fosters talent and innovation, further enhancing our educational offerings and ensuring the continued success of our students.”
