Golden Visa holders in the UAE can now sponsor their parents for a 10-year residency, as reported by the Khaleej Times.&nbsp;This is a facet of the substantially expanded Golden Visa programme that came into force on 3 October, 2022. An&nbsp;operation manager at Arabian Business Centre (Amer Centre – Sheikh Zayed Road) who spoke to Khaleej Times said that they issued&nbsp;a 10-year Golden Visa for the parents of a 10-year visa holder. Previously, these used to be issued for a year like it is done for normal residency holders.&nbsp;

As per the official UAE Government website, regular UAE residency visa holders can sponsor their parents if they earn a monthly salary of at least Dh20,000 or $5,445.16&nbsp;(USD)&nbsp;and above.&nbsp;This salary pre-requisite, too, does not apply to Golden Visa holders. Why is the Golden Visa called the visa&nbsp;of opportunity and what are its benefits? We explain it all.&nbsp;

<h2>What is the Golden Visa and why is it called a visa of opportunity?</h2>

A long-term residency visa known as the "golden" visa&nbsp;allows foreign nationals to live, work, and study in the United Arab Emirates for up to 10 years.&nbsp;The immigration programme helps affluent&nbsp;individuals&nbsp;get a resident permit or even citizenship in the UAE by making a sizable contribution, making an investment, or purchasing a home there. In the past, people&nbsp;who spent six months outside of UAE lost their Golden Visa. With the advent of the new system, the Golden Visa will continue to be valid regardless of how long the bearer stays abroad.

Children of any age may be sponsored by Golden Visa holders. There is no restriction on how many domestic workers they may sponsor. Additionally, they can now also sponsor their parents for a period of 10 years.&nbsp;

<h2>Broadened Golden Visa&nbsp;scheme</h2>

On 3 October, a new system for resident and visitor visas came into effect in the UAE. It added new entrance and residency permits, streamlined current choices, and established new residency tracks. An extended Golden Visa programme, which now allows additional types of individuals to get the coveted 10-year visa, was one of the modifications.

Holders of Golden Visas are exempt from having their residency status affected by more than six months spent outside of the UAE. Children of any age may be sponsored by Golden Visa holders. Additionally, there is no restriction on how many support employees they may sponsor.

The minimum monthly wage criterion for long-term residence has been reduced from Dh50,000 to Dh30,000, enabling more qualified professionals to apply. The following disciplines are included on the list: medical, engineering, information technology, business and administration, law, culture, and social sciences.&nbsp;

Most recently,&nbsp;The renowned Golden Visa of the United Arab Emirates, which has a ten-year validity period, has been awarded to Kollywood megastar Kamal Haasan, who was last seen in the 2022 movie "Vikram."&nbsp;

EXPLAINED: UAE Golden Visa holders can now sponsor parents for 10-year residency; all benefits of the scheme

A task force constituted by Niti Aayog on clean transportation has suggested removal of all permit requirements for electric vehicles (EVs) as they are environment-friendly and the government needs to promote them.

The report of the task force prepared jointly by Niti Aayog and CII also made a case for preparing a long-term vision for intra-city electric buses.

&quot;Task force proposes eliminating all permit requirements for electric vehicles in order to encourage electric mobility as getting and renewing permits every year is costly and time-consuming.

&quot;It would require a change in existing permit regime, at national and state level. Safety issues will need deliberation such that they do not impede the success of such intervention,&quot; the report said.

It further said that a long-term vision for intra-city electric buses is required.

&quot;Retrofitting CNG engines with electric drive trains and pantographs for opportunity charging enroute can be a way forward for electric mobility in Delhi,&quot; the report noted.

Pointing out that two-wheelers and three-wheelers market has a huge potential for adopting EV technologies, the report said,&quot;hence, they should be targeted for large-scale adoption of EV technologies&quot;.

It also pitched for limiting high-mileage polluting vehicles, strengthening Pollution-Under-Control (PUC) regime, allowing retailing of biofuels and promoting electric-mobility.

The report also noted that public transportation options should be accessible within 500 metres and 1,000 metres for a household in urban areas and for peri-urban areas, respectively.

According to the report, parking management is an important tool to limit the number of vehicles on the road.

&quot;Introduce on-road parking fees based on the area and time to decongest prime streets and incentivise public transport in areas with adequate supply for public transport services, for instance, the metro stations,&quot; the report suggested.

It also pitched for imposing parking fee incommensurate with the land value or land opportunity cost.

The report also said that vehicles older than 20 years should be banned and traffic police should have powers to lift and scrape non-compliant vehicles.

Another task force constituted by Niti Aayog in a report titled &#39;Action Plan for Clean Fuel&#39; said that taxation and pricing strategy is needed to provide impetus to cleaner fuels and discouraging the use of polluting ones.

&quot;Lower taxes on the cleaner fuels are sought and for the purpose, GST can create a level playing field in the country,&quot; it said. Noting that Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the cleanest and economical transportation fuel is widely used in countries like China and the US, the report said, &quot;Long haul road transportation, inland waterways and railways are the important areas where LNG can be used as a transportation fuel&quot;.
