July 6, 2025 – The TON Foundation has introduced a new pathway for obtaining a 10-year UAE Golden Visa by staking TON tokens, offering crypto users a novel way to access long-term residency in the United Arab Emirates.
The initiative, allows applicants to stake $100,000 worth of TON for 36 months, plus pay a $35,000 processing fee, to qualify for the visa. The move is part of the UAE’s broader push to attract crypto wealth and position itself as a global blockchain hub.
The new Golden Visa program uses blockchain-native staking instead of traditional property investment. Participants lock their TON tokens in a decentralized smart contract but continue earning yields while qualifying for residency.
The offering reflects the UAE’s ambition to embrace digital assets as part of its long-term economic diversification strategy. TON holders benefit from retaining liquidity while accessing the country’s well-established business and lifestyle infrastructure.
Unlike real estate-based visa options, which require around $545,000 in investment, the TON staking route sets a significantly lower threshold. This opens the door for a wider pool of global crypto investors seeking tax-friendly residency and business setup options in the UAE.
The program also represents a step forward in merging decentralized finance (DeFi) with real-world utility granting tangible residency benefits through blockchain participation.
