Odaily Planet Daily reported that the TON Foundation clarified that the UAE Golden Visa program originates from an independent collaboration between TON and a licensed partner focused on blockchain infrastructure and tokenized assets. This exploratory work has not yet reached any formal agreements with UAE government entities, and this collaboration is still in the early development stage, aiming to explore how a blockchain-based compliance framework can ultimately support real-world residency pathways. Any services must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and merely applying does not guarantee the issuance of a visa; the authority to issue visas remains at the discretion of the relevant UAE government agencies.
