BREAKING: Toncoin Partners with UAE to Offer Golden Visa, Driving TON Price Up 10%

Last Updated:
A news report on the launch of Affluent, a new DeFi platform from a former TON director that operates on Telegram.
  • Toncoin partners with the UAE to offer a 10-year Golden Visa in exchange for staking $100,000 worth of TON for three years.
  • The program bypasses traditional real estate or income requirements.
  • TON price jumped 10% as the crypto community responded to this milestone.

Toncoin (TON) has launched a new initiative enabling users to secure a 10-year UAE Golden Visa by staking TON. The announcement has sent shockwaves across the crypto space, with the TON price surging by 10% following the news.

Visa Residency Now Available with TON Staking

According to the official release on TON’s website, applicants can obtain a 10-year UAE Golden Visa by staking $100,000 worth of TON for a period of three years, along with a one-time processing fee of $35,000. This alternative residency pathway bypasses traditional requirements, such as real estate purchases or income thresholds, offering a more flexible, crypto-native option for global citizens.

Notably, users retain full control of their funds, which remain locked in a decentralized smart contract and can be fully withdrawn after the staking period.

Family Inclusion and Speedy Processing

The TON-based Golden Visa process includes several key benefits:

  • Fast approval: Visa issuance in under 7 weeks
  • Family coverage: Spouses, children, and parents receive visas at no extra cost (excluding standard government fees)
  • Simple eligibility: No real estate or minimum income required, just TON staking

This move positions TON as a first-of-its-kind asset in directly unlocking long-term residency in a major global hub.

How the Process Works

The application process is streamlined into five steps. Applicants begin by submitting their visa application online. They then stake $100,000 in TON through a smart contract and pay the processing fee. 

Once staking and payment are confirmed, they receive email confirmation and guidance on the next steps. A local UAE partner handles final processing, and the visa is issued shortly after. On arrival in the UAE, the applicant and family receive their long-term Golden Visas.

During the staking period, users can earn an estimated 3–4% APY while maintaining capital protection and full transparency via the TON Blockchain.

TON vs Traditional Golden Visa

Traditional UAE Golden Visas typically require an investment of around $540,000 in illiquid real estate or a fixed deposit. Processing times can take up to six months. 

In contrast, the TON staking path requires only $100,000 in liquid crypto assets plus the processing fee and delivers residency in under seven weeks. This makes the TON option not only cheaper but also faster and more flexible.

Market Reaction

The announcement has boosted investor sentiment, with TON’s price jumping 10% within hours to over $3.05. The move has erased most of the losses TON has incurred over the past month, putting it on track to challenge the $3.5 resistance.
