TON’s Game-Changer: Stake $100K in Toncoin for UAE Golden Visa, Slashing Traditional Costs by 80%

The Open Network (TON), the blockchain platform associated with Telegram, has introduced a simplified pathway to obtain a 10-year UAE Golden Visa. Investors are required to stake $100,000 worth of Toncoin for three years—significantly lower than the conventional $540,000 investment—along with a $35,000 processing fee. The approval timeline is approximately seven weeks.

Unlike traditional investment methods, staked funds remain under the investor's control through a verifiable TON smart contract. Participants also benefit from 3%-4% annual returns during the staking period. The visa includes immediate family members without additional platform fees, though standard government charges remain applicable.

This initiative dramatically reduces the entry barrier for crypto-savvy individuals seeking UAE residency. By lowering the minimum investment by 80%, TON strategically bridges digital assets and global mobility, capitalizing on improving regulatory clarity around cryptocurrency adoption.
