The UAE authorities have already denied this. As if they wouldn't be kicked out of there for such misinformation.

$TON just announced the most crypto native visa play we’ve ever seen:

Stake $100K worth of $TON → get a 10-year UAE Golden Visa 🇦🇪

- No need to buy property
- No company setup
- No bank deposit

Let’s break down how it works, the risks & whether it’s worth it.

The basics you need to know:

- Stake $100K worth of TON for 3 years
- Pay $35K one-time fee
- Earn 3–4% APY
- Visa comes in 7 weeks
- Covers ur whole fam: spouse, kids, even parents
- No need to move funds to a UAE bank

Your TON is locked in a smart contract. You still control it

Let’s compare it to the usual headache:

🇵🇹 Portugal:

- €500K+ in real estate
- 6–9 month wait
- No staking, no yield
- Program’s on its last leg anyway

🇸🇬 Singapore:

- $7.5M+ investment
- Only for ultra-rich
- No real residency unless you run a biz

🇦🇪 Old UAE Visa:

- $545K in property or $500K in bank
- Or company setup for $150K
- Still 6–8 weeks wait
- No yield. Banks own your money

Now back to $TON:

You pay $135K total (staking + fee)

And instead of locking cash in dead assets:

• You earn passive yield
• You keep custody
• You get full UAE perks: tax, banking, residency

Visa-as-a-Service through staking. Clean af.

Not gonna lie: there are risks:

• $TON can dump in 3 years ( is it wise to go for it ? shared below )
• $35K fee = gone forever
• Visa not 100% guaranteed (KYC applies)
• No early unstake button

But but if you’re deep in crypto + eyeing Dubai… this is real alpha.

TON basically made staking your way into residency a thing.

No TradFi hoops.
No real estate.
Just you, your wallet, and a 10-year visa.

From shitcoins to citizenship. Wild scenes.

And yes.. I think it’s smart positioning.

Right now, staking $100K gives you:

• 4% APY ($12.5K over 3 years)
• A residency asset
• Exposure to Telegram’s native chain

This isn’t a degen ROI play.
It’s an access trade.

But let’s not ignore the obvious:

TON needs to hold up for 3 years.
