The post said the actions are "part of ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of all who live in the UAE, at all times and wherever they may be."

Mo Bennis, an associate vice president at Arton Capital, a global financial advisory and consultancy firm, told Fox News Digital that geopolitical tensions highlight the value of mobility.

"The message is unmistakable: The country stands behind those who call it home."

Bennis said the UAE's response should become a case study for how countries should support their citizens during times of geopolitical uncertainty.

"The UAE golden visa holders are not just investors; they are part of the national fabric," he said. 

The visa lasts for 10 years.

Arton Capital's Passport Index ranked the UAE as the most stable, providing freedom of mobility.
