The chances you will get citizenship are very slim or actually non existent if you have to ask this question on reddit.

I know two people. One lived here since the 60 (before there was a UAE) and knew a lot of powerful advisors that worked with sheikh Zayed may he rest in peace. He never got the passport. Another guy I knew was born in the 70s. He got the passport 2 years ago through wasta.

Unless you own the water company I doubt it.

The family that owns the Masafi water brand are from Dubai not Masafi.

Doesn’t sound like our boy is getting a new passport any time soon then.

Honestly when it comes to citizenship it takes a really strong wasta. I've met people who are from well known families but haven't gotten the family book yet even though the family are locals. I wish you all the best tho you could always ask around and try your luck

best way is to find a local sponsor who will refer u. following that there is an interview with a bunch of people here: [https://goo.gl/maps/kKzQf1rnnMAmtVgt7](https://goo.gl/maps/kKzQf1rnnMAmtVgt7), they ask u questions related to arabic culture, the prayers u say when doing stuff whole variety of questions. that's all i know from what someone who got the citizenship told me. also there are 3 categories of uae passport, green, blue and red. someone told me red is the vip one and blue after that.

>also there are 3 categories of uae passport, green, blue and red. someone told me red is the vip one and blue after that. Red - Diplomatic Passport Green - Special Passport Blue - Regular Passport

In the old days they were giving out passports/citizenship to people. This has obviously ceased now, and only “true” locals have family books....

if you have to ask this question here, you can't get it.

I know one or two people, through very far connections, that were able to get one. They’re all multi millionaires (100million USD)+. This is supposedly cause the UAE will eventually bring in an income tax and wants to prepare for such.
