Abdelaziz joins a growing number of regional creatives granted the golden visa.
Yasmin Abdelaziz is the latest cultural personality to receive a UAE golden visa.
The popular Egyptian actress, who starred in this year’s Ramadan drama series Elle Maloush Kbeer, has announced the news on her Instagram account.
“I am happy at receiving the golden visa from the UAE,” Abdelaziz posted alongside a series of images of herself with the Dubai skyline and one with the Burj Khalifa as a backdrop.
The news comes as the government scheme, first introduced in 2019 to attract investors, expanded to also acknowledge the cultural contributions made by actors, singers and composers, spanning the Arab world and beyond.
Besides the actress, a few famous faces have been awarded the UAE Golden visa including, Nabila Ebeed, Roberto Carlos, Menna Fadali, Cristiano Ronaldo, Novak Djokovic, Khaled Selim, Carole Samaha, Nadine Nassib Njeim, Mohamed Ramadan, Mai Selim, and Mais Hamdan.
