Abu Dhabi: Now United will soon be striking a chord for global harmony from their new base in Abu Dhabi after 13 members of the international pop group were granted Golden Residence Visas to the UAE.
The visas, which were awarded by the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), with facilitation by the Abu Dhabi Residents Office (ADRO) and twofour54 Abu Dhabi, will allow the members to reside in the country - and contribute to its burgeoning creative economy - for 10 years.
Now United have become an international sensation for their upbeat music and high-energy dance routines, with members from 18 different countries working together to create on-stage magic. The group’s members were delighted to receive the visas, which means they can use Abu Dhabi as a long-term base to focus on developing their act for international fans. With an ever-increasing fan following, the group is excited to be part of Abu Dhabi’s emerging global creative hub and aims to make use of the world-class facilities, impressive infrastructure, and the safe, inspiring work environment.
With ADRO’s support, the group will focus on achieving its true potential, benefitting from the Abu Dhabi experience to comfortably settle into their long-term homes. With a focus on opportunity, quality of life, community and advocacy, ADRO will offer guidance to the group and actively support and initiate policies for international residents.
