Superstar Rajinikanth has been honoured with a golden visa by the UAE’s Department of Culture and Tourism. During his recent visit to Abu Dhabi, the actor expressed gratitude to the government and MA Yusuff Ali, the chairman and managing director of Lulu Group, for the honour and hospitality.
The Golden Visa was presented to Rajinikanth by Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council and Chairman of the Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT), Government of Abu Dhabi, in the presence of Yusuff.
Rajinikanth also shared a video saying, “I am deeply honoured to receive the prestigious UAE Golden visa from Abu Dhabi Govt. My heartfelt thanks to the Abu Dhabi govt. and also to my good friend Mr Yusuff Ali, CMD of Lulu Group, for facilitating this visa and for all the support.”
UAE's Golden Visa allows foreign individuals to live, work, and study in the country without the need for a national sponsor. It also provides them with full ownership of their businesses on the UAE mainland. The visa’s duration ranges from 5 to 10 years and is automatically renewable. Golden Visa holders and their families can access various government services, including healthcare, education, and utilities, on par with UAE citizens.
