The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Saturday (30 January) announced adoption of "law amendments" to grant citizenships to foreign investors and professionals.
The changes in UAE's citizenship law will allow for the naturalisation of foreign investors, doctors, scientists, artists and talented people and their families, reports Gulf News.
"The new directives aim to attract talents that contribute to our development journey," Sheikh Mohammed said in a tweet.
The amendments in the UAE citizenship law will allow a person to retain their original nationality, which is significant change to the previous rule that prohibited dual citizenship.
