$TON just announced the most native cryptocurrency movement we have seen:
Acquire $100K in TON → get a 10-year Golden Visa from the UAE 🇦🇪
- No need to buy property
- No need to create a company
- No bank deposit required
Let's break down how it works, the risks & whether it's worth it.
The basics you need to know:
- $100K in TON for 3 years
- Pay a one-time fee of $35K
- Earn 3–4% APY
- The visa arrives in 7 weeks
- Covers your whole family: spouse, children, even parents
- No need to move funds to a bank in the UAE
Your TON is locked in a smart contract. You still control it.
Let's compare this with the usual pain:
🇸🇬 Singapore:
- $7.5M+ investment
- Only for ultra-rich
- No real residency unless you run a business
🇦🇪 Old UAE Visa:
- $545K in property or $500K in the bank
- Or business creation for $150K
- Still waiting 6–8 weeks
- No yield. Banks own your money
Now back to TON:
You pay $135K in total (staking + fee)
And instead of locking cash in dead assets:
• You earn passive yield
• You maintain custody
• You get all the benefits of the UAE: taxes, banking, residency
Visa as a Service through staking. Clean.
⚠️I'm not going to lie: there are risks:
• TON may drop in 3 years (is it wise to go for it? shared below)
• $35K fee = lost forever
• Visa not guaranteed 100% (KYC applies)
• No early unstaking button
But if you are deep into cryptocurrencies + looking towards Dubai… this is a real advantage.
TON basically made staking your path to residency.
✅️No TradFi hurdles.
✅️No real estate.
✅️Just you, your wallet, and a 10-year visa.
