Is this 👇 real? It would be awesome IF it is true.

But I got conflicting info so far.

Some say: this is just so that they charge you $35,000 to pass your application to an agent, who usually only charge $1,000 fee.

The website seems to give the impression that "$35,000 + $100,000 staking" guarantees a golden visa. It's not clear if this is true. The language is not very explicit.

Some say: this was "approved" by the RAK (Ras Al Khaimah Emirate) DAO. I have not been able to verify with an official source yet.

Some say: regulators VARA, ADGM and SCA all said staking is a regulated activity and the Ton foundation don't have the required licenses.

There are no official gov website with the "stake Ton for golden visa" update.

The UAE officially offers Golden Visas under these categories:
1.Real estate investment ≥ AED 2,000,000
2. Business investment or tax contributions ≥ AED 250,000/year
3. Entrepreneurs with UAE-approved ventures
4. Skilled professionals with salary ≥ AED 30,000/month
5. Outstanding talent, scientists, creatives
6. Retirees, students, etc.

The Golden Visa is great. And category 5 or 6 is broad.

A minister offered me a golden visa when I first arrived in UAE. It worked great. Not sure which category I fell into, probably Retiree 😂. I subsequently bought an apartment in Dubai so that I didn't "owe" anything.

This program would be awesome if it was true. I didn't want to bug too many "official" friends on a Sunday.

Feel free to comment below if you have reliable info.
