UAE: The recent claim about distributing golden visas to digital money investors is not true.

According to a report by WAM on July 7, the UAE Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP), the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), and the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) issued a joint statement denying claims circulating online that the UAE is distributing golden visas to digital currency investors. VARA pointed out that the TON company has neither obtained VARA's permission nor is it under its regulation.

ICP clarifies that the distribution of golden visas has a clear official framework and standards, which do not include Digital Money investors. Eligible categories include real estate investors, entrepreneurs, outstanding talents, scientists and experts, excellent students and graduates, humanitarian pioneers, and frontline workers.

Three institutions jointly urge the public to obtain accurate information through official channels and warn against believing unverified advertisements or offers online.
