It's part of the multicultural family destination's comprehensive strategy to ensure smooth operations and secure services.

Ali AlSuwaidi, Chief Operating Officer at Global Village, said: "We are committed to enabling and assisting our partners from around the world and welcoming them to Dubai with true Emirati hospitality. These same principles inspire us to build bridges of cooperation, drive cultural diversity, and provide opportunities for foreign investors to enter the UAE market and discover the many business opportunities here."
Visa applications for Global Village participants can be submitted through its Partner Happiness Centre, which provides an easy-to-use online portal.
