All parents need to do is enter the child's Emirates ID details and student number on the portal.

The Emirates Schools Establishment (ESE) recently announced that 2,036 exceptional students - 950 of whom study in Abu Dhabi - have been qualified to apply for the Golden Visa.

Those who have achieved scores of at least 95 per cent in their UAE Ministry of Education curriculum final exams are eligible for the long-term visa.

Parents of eligible students can proceed to any TAMM Service Centre or Tasheel Centre to begin the application process.

They can also apply online through the Federal Authority for Identity & Citizenship's (ICA) website (www.ica.gov.ae).
