Under the directives of Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture), creative entrepreneurs, talents and craftspeople in Al Quoz can now apply for this visa category. The aim is to empower and encourage individuals to settle in Dubai and provide them with the opportunity to thrive in their respective fields of work, as they collectively contribute to the city’s cultural production.
