ABU DHABI: Two Ayurveda doctors, who are originally from India's Kerela state and now based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have received the Gulf nation's coveted Golden Visa, according to a media report on Saturday. A Golden Visa enables foreigners to live, work and study in the country without the need of a national sponsor and with 100 per cent ownership of their business on the UAE mainland. They are issued for five or 10 years and are renewed automatically. Both Shyam Vishwanathan Pillai and Jasna Jamal were granted the Golden Visas by the UAE's Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA).
Vishwanathan, CEO of Vaidyashala at the Burjeel Day Surgery Centre in Abu Dhabi, received it under the medical professionals and doctors category on June 17, the Khaleej Times report said. "My sincere gratitude to the rulers and policymakers of UAE for the kind support to Ayurveda and Ayurveda practitioners," Shyam, from Kollam, told the newspaper. "I truly appreciate their vision in integrating the Ayurveda for the wellbeing of UAE residents and at the same time keeping in place strong measures to ensure the quality delivery of Ayurveda practice," he added.
