For many high-net-worth individuals, philanthropy is not just an afterthought; it is a core part of their life’s mission. They have a deep desire to give back to society and to make a positive impact on the world. The UAE, with its strong culture of generosity and its well-regulated charitable sector, provides a fertile ground for this kind of impactful giving. In a visionary move, the UAE has also created a pathway to link significant philanthropic contributions with the opportunity to obtain a long-term residency visa, including the prestigious Golden Visa.
This creates a unique opportunity for philanthropists to not only support causes they care about but also to make the UAE their home. However, navigating the world of philanthropy and the complexities of the visa system can be a daunting task. It requires a deep understanding of the local charitable landscape, a clear legal framework for your giving, and an expert guide to the visa application process.
This is the unique, integrated solution offered by the partnership between T4me (Transactions For Me) and the Nour Attorneys Foundation, as key members of the SKP Business Federation. The Nour Attorneys Foundation is the dedicated philanthropic arm of Nour Attorneys Law Firm, with a deep commitment to supporting social and humanitarian causes in the UAE and beyond. T4me is a leading provider of visa and corporate services. Together, we provide a seamless and trusted service for philanthropists who want to make a difference and make the UAE their home.
This article explains how our integrated service can help you to achieve your philanthropic and residency goals.
