UAE Golden Visa vs Trump's EB-5: Which one fits your residency goals?
Two countries are offering permanent residency options for investors and skilled professionals. The UAE has its Golden Visa program, while the US recently revived the EB-5 Investor Visa under Donald Trump 's administration. Both promise residency, but their terms differ, according to a report by the Times of India. The UAE offers a renewable 10-year residency permit to investors, professionals, creatives, and property buyers. It does not require a local sponsor and allows holders to live, work, and study anywhere in the seven emirates. Under Trump's second term, the EB-5 program was fast-tracked and rebranded. Investors who put at least $800,000 into approved US projects can get a Green Card within 12 to 18 months. However, the investment must create at least 10 jobs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Retirement Villages in Bangalore (Search Here For Results) Senior Living Communities Undo Real estate investment requirements (Join our ETNRI WhatsApp channel for all the latest updates) In the UAE, an investment of Dh2 million (around $545,000) in property qualifies, including mortgaged or off-plan properties, as long as the developer is government-approved.

Processing time and bureaucracy The UAE process can take as little as one month, with a simple document submission and medical test. In contrast, the US process involves lengthy reviews, audits, and detailed job creation verification. Lifestyle and taxes The UAE offers no personal income tax, safe cities, and good infrastructure. It is popular among Indian investors and expats. And the program is apolitical and consistent. The US charges taxes on worldwide income but offers a Green Card with access to education and citizenship. This program under Trump carries political associations and has faced criticism over its connection to populist policies. Family benefits and residency flexibility The UAE allows sponsoring family members and even domestic workers, with no residency time requirements to maintain the visa. The US Green Card includes family but requires physical presence to avoid issues with re-entry and taxation. The UAE Golden Visa suits those seeking a fast, simple, and tax-friendly residency option with regional access. The US EB-5 visa is better for those planning long-term residency and citizenship in America, despite more complexity and political baggage.

Karnataka Film Chamber open to talks with Kamal Haasan over 'Thug Life' release
The controversy surrounding Kamal Haasan 's remarks on the Kannada language has stirred significant debate over the past few days, both online and within the film industry. The issue stemmed from his speech during the audio launch of Thug Life, where he referenced the roots of the Kannada language. This prompted backlash from several Kannada organizations and the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce, who demanded an apology. As the matter escalated, protests began to erupt, and the film's release in Karnataka faced serious roadblocks. Some groups even threatened to disrupt screenings, taking the issue to court. Court questioned Kamal Haasan's statement In court, the judge questioned whether Kamal Haasan had any basis for his claim that Kannada originated from Tamil. The judge stated that public figures, regardless of their stature, must avoid statements that hurt cultural sentiments. He added that for a film with a ₹300 crore budget, a public apology might be a reasonable step toward resolving the conflict and ensuring a smooth release in Karnataka. However, Kamal Haasan stood firm in his stance and submitted a letter clarifying that his words were misunderstood and never meant to undermine the Kannada language. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Uberaba (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo Kamal Haasan issues clarification but refuses to apologize Interestingly, the judge noted that Kamal's letter did not contain any direct apology, and due to the tension, the release of Thug Life in Karnataka has been temporarily postponed.
