🇦🇪 Is the Golden Visa in the UAE really granted in exchange for purchasing TON cryptocurrency?
In recent days, an exciting announcement from the TON Foundation (the currency associated with the Telegram app) has spread, promoting the idea that you can obtain a Golden Visa in the UAE if you invest $100,000 in TON cryptocurrency for 3 years, with a fee of $35,000!
But…
❌ The UAE officially denied this!
Government bodies in the UAE (such as the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship and the Securities Market) clarified that:
There is no official program that grants a Golden Visa in exchange for purchasing digital currencies.
TON did not coordinate with the government; rather, it was an unofficial private partnership.
In short: You cannot obtain a Golden Visa in the UAE just because you bought TON cryptocurrency.
💬 Why did they do this?
The TON Foundation was trying to open a new path for residency through digital currencies, but without government support, it is neither legal nor guaranteed.

✅ Summary:
Do not believe any announcement that says "Buy a digital currency and get a Golden Visa in the UAE," because it is unofficial and not approved as of now.
