UAE’s ICP Showcases Strategic Initiatives at AIM 2025 in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi, UAE – The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) is all set to participate in the 14th Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) 2025, taking place from April 7 to 9, 2025, at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC).
Held under the powerful theme "Mapping the Future of Global Investment: A New Vision for a Balanced Global Order", this year’s summit is expected to attract over 25,000 global participants, including top government officials, global investors, entrepreneurs, and private sector leaders.
ICP to Spotlight Innovation and Investment-Ready Solutions
The ICP will make a significant impact at AIM 2025 through its dedicated exhibition booth, where representatives from the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs and the General Directorate of Customs and Port Security will present three key initiatives aimed at enhancing the UAE’s global investment appeal and supporting sustainable development.
These strategic programs not only align with the country’s vision for long-term economic resilience but also reflect its commitment to creating an innovation-driven ecosystem for both local and international investors.
What Visitors Can Expect at the ICP Booth
1. Golden Residency Visa: A Gateway for Talent and Investment
The Golden Visa remains one of the UAE’s most prestigious long-term residency options, offering 5 or 10-year renewable visas to investors, entrepreneurs, scientists, outstanding students, skilled professionals, and creative talents.
This residency solution allows holders to live, work, study, and invest in the UAE without the need for a local sponsor. It comes with exclusive benefits, including family sponsorship and business-friendly policies—making it a cornerstone of the UAE’s strategy to become a global magnet for talent and innovation.
2. Blue Residency Visa: A Global First for Environmental Champions
Unveiled as the world’s first long-term residency visa focused on sustainability, the Blue Visa targets individuals who have made exceptional contributions to environmental protection and climate action.
Open to both UAE residents and international applicants, the Blue Visa honors pioneers in areas like marine and land conservation, clean energy, sustainable technologies, and the circular economy. This initiative underlines the UAE’s deep commitment to a greener future and recognizes sustainability as a driver of economic progress.
3. Unified Customs Tariff System: Simplifying Global Trade
The ICP is also rolling out its new Integrated Centralised Customs Tariff System, a flagship component of the Emirates Customs Platform. As the first of its kind in the UAE, the system is designed to:
- Streamline customs procedures
- Reduce clearance times
- Boost international trade efficiency
- Enhance national security
- Ensure regulatory compliance
By digitizing and unifying tariff structures across the Emirates, this system improves transparency and facilitates a seamless trade experience, strengthening the UAE’s position as a leading global logistics and trade hub.
A Vision for the Future of Investment
Major General Suhail Saeed Al Khaili, Director General of ICP, emphasized the importance of AIM as a strategic platform for promoting the UAE’s growth-oriented, business-friendly, and investor-ready ecosystem.
“AIM is a vital global platform to showcase the UAE’s strengths as a destination for residency, business, and innovation,” said Major General Al Khaili. “Our participation allows us to present cutting-edge residency options and customs solutions that make the UAE one of the most attractive countries in the world for long-term growth and opportunity.”
He added that the expanding global interest in AIM underscores the growing significance of international collaboration in shaping a balanced and inclusive investment future.
