Only a select group will be authorised holders to practice commercial activities within the free zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do you get?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The talent pass offers freelancers a three-year residence visa and a commercial licence.<br>&#8220;Dubai Culture and the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs will also offer a golden visa to eligible talent pass holders validated by DAFZ,&#8221; Abdulaziz Al Hammadi, senior vice president \u2013 marketing and business growth at DAFZ said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is this pass different?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike some other freelance visas, you don\u2019t need to rent a space in a free zone. But the option is there if you want it. And license holders can access a directory of free-zone companies. This means freelancers can generate business from within the free zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What documents do you need?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The free zone requires certain documentation from the applicants such as a CV, letter of recommendation, or portfolio to validate and authenticate talent.<br>However, if you\u2019re a graduate in the specialised field, you can knock off the LoR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much will you shell out?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The talent pass costs Dh9,500 ($2,586) and is renewable annually. However, renewal charges will depend on your profile and field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mlybgetq2uip.i.optimole.com\/tf1vXHs-90dWJIer\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:auto\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/buzzzing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/talent-1.jpg?w=1080&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6298\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Will you apply for the \u2018Talent Pass\u2019?<br>Let us know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hear ye!
