(DPG33).With 25 measures to fully support the development of the game industry.

One of these initiatives is thisFor "Video Game Visa"This video game visa is mainly used to attract and support talents, game developers, and industry pioneers in the video game field! Game developers, art designers, programmers, and other industry-related personnel can rush it! Information about the duration of the visa is not mentioned at the moment. However, it can be used as a reference for the duration of other long-term visas, such as the Investor Visa or the Merit Student Visa, which is valid for 5 or 10 years.In addition, according to DPG33's official website, the Dubai Gaming Program will focus on three main areas: talent, content and technology. The aim is: to create a global platform that brings together digital content creators and provides training and employment opportunities in partnership with international companies, universities and academic institutions. It also supports entrepreneurs and innovators and initiates specialized education and training programs.Dubai's big goal is to create 30,000 gaming-related jobs, bring a $1 billion GDP boost, and plan to establish itself as one of the top 10 cities in the global gaming industry!

Just ask if you are familiar with this wave operation?

This makes the editor can't help but rememberSaudi Arabia has spared no expense in the gaming circle in recent years!Stake or acquire gaming companies around the worldJust to fully promote Saudi Arabia as a global game center of the big event!What's the matter? The two local tyrants have taken a fancy to this game marketThey all started to spend a lot of money, and they were more generous than anyone else!Remember Saudi Arabia's national gaming and esports strategy in recent years?Plans to become the center of the global gaming and esports industry by 2030, create 39,000 jobs by 2030, and increase GDP by $13.3 billion, driving the diversification of the nation's economy!To achieve this goal, Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund is investing $650 billion in the gaming industry! Savvy Games Group, a conglomerate, was established, and in just a few years, it quickly spent nearly $40 billion to start the buy-buy-buy model for well-known game companies around the world!They acquired esports companies ESL Gaming and FACEIT for $15 billion and merged them into ESL FACEIT Group, in addition to investing $1 billion in Swedish gaming company Embracer Group, which spent $1.2 billion to buy shares in Capcom, a Japanese game company, and Nexon, a South Korean game company. $265 million to buy a stake in the Chinese esports company Hero Sports VSPO! and American mobile game studio Scopely, among ......According to incomplete statistics, Saudi Arabia already owns more than 8% of Nintendo's shares, Electronic Arts 9% of its shares, Activision Blizzard's 4.9% shares, NC soft's 6.69% shares, Nexon's 10.23% shares, and 96% of the shares of The King of Fighters publisher SNK, etc., with a total value of at least tens of billions of dollars!

In short, full of money flavor...... Following Saudi Arabia's desire to build the "C position" of the global game circle, Dubai is not far behind, following closely behind! Began to "recruit" a large number of people and introduced talents!Having said that, do you know what the long-term visa for the introduction of talents in the game industry means?It means that as long as you are over 25 years old, and you are a relevant person in the game industry, working in the game industry in Dubai, you can successfully obtain a long-term visa and live a "rich and oily" life in Dubai! In the future, you can also renew! It seems that Dubai has spared no expense for its position in the gaming industry!

It can be said that all countries have seen the value brought by the game industry and have increased their investment in the game industry~ Speaking of which, we have to mention the importance that other countries attach to game-related industries and a series of support policies!

Countries have discovered "this delicious cake" for a long time! Back in 2022, the EU has invested $18 million in financing specifically for the gaming industry, and more than $40 million for requests related to the gaming industry! It has also set up two special programs, "Creative Europe" and "Media Investment Fund", to provide funding for the gaming industry.

The government of Germany, a member of the European Union, has approved a federal budget of 50 million euros a year to revive the country's gaming industry.

As for the UK, as early as 2014, a series of game tax relief policies were introduced, attracting many game companies to develop in the UK, and in 2023, affected by the epidemic, the game industry is not optimistic, and the government will once again implement tax relief for the game industry. With a wave of his hand, £8 million was sent to the UK Games Fund to give strong support to eligible companies!

The federal government of Canada has also launched funding programs and tax breaks for released games to help them better promote in physical and digital markets. Another government support program, CanExport SME, is offering up to $50,000 to help gaming companies market in overseas markets.

The Australian government is attracting more domestic and foreign industry personnel by taking advantage of the "Digital Game Tax Credit" (DGTO), a policy that uses tax credits, to provide eligible developers with a 30% tax deduction (with an average annual tax reduction capped at $20 million per company)!Although various countries have come out of various ways to support the game industry! But the most striking thing is the Middle East! If you want to go, you will ask, how to apply? I have predicted your prediction~ The application conditions are placed below!

So how do you apply?

Applications can be made through the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority website or https://dubaigaming.gov.ae/ and include all required documents, including academic qualifications, proof of community contribution and job role, as well as copies of passports, e-IDs and resumes, and contact details. Applicants must also provide details of their place of residence, occupation, and workplace.

But, wait, don't rush to apply for a visa first, there is a digression that I still have to talk about. Listen to my friends in Dubai: the prices there are a bit high! A bowl of rice is worth 8 yuan! A bowl of dandan noodles costs 70 yuan~ There is also a hearsay rumor! Now the dens in northern Myanmar have been transferred to Dubai, I don't know if the parts will be dismantled when I go to Dubai to work, in short, even if you want to go, or plan to go, you must do a good job in advance to see the authenticity, don't be ........

Alright, alright! Without talking about it, that's all for today's article, Xiaobian is already on the flight to Dubai, and I have time to come to Dubai to find me, bye~
