Dr Arindam Banerjee (Associate Professor and Deputy Director – Global MBA & Master of Global Business, SP Jain) was interviewed by with Khaleej Times, a leading newspaper in the UAE, on the new law, under which professionals holding PhD degrees from one of the top 500 universities in the world will be given the 10-year golden visa.
The article titled ‘Scholars call expansion of 10-year UAE visa rule 'futuristic'’ was published on November 16, 2020, in Khaleej Times print and online editions.
In the article, Dr. Arindam shared his views on the recent announcement made by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on 15th November 2020, under the law more sections of professionals — including those in the academic sector — will be eligible for the 10-year golden visa.
Dr. Arindam shared his views on the recent move by the UAE government and said “This is indeed a welcome move by the government which clearly reflects the forward-looking and visionary mindset of our leaders. The 10-year visa would potentially encourage increased focus on academic research, impactful innovation and lasting engagement between research and practice. This would also retain a significant talent pool who are already in research and contribute to the indigenous body of knowledge within the UAE.”
