Two Kerala-based Ayurvedic doctors, Dr Shyam Vishwanathan Pillai and Dr Jasna Jamal, are the latest recipient of the Golden Visa  granted by the UAE's Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA), 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.

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.

A resident of Al Mamzar in Dubai, Jamal, from Thrissur, was given the Golden Visa on June 24. She moved to the UAE 12 years ago soon after getting married. With over 16 years of experience in Ayurveda, Jamal established her own Ayurveda clinic in Al Mamzar.
