The TON Foundation is distancing itself from early Golden Visa claims, saying the move is an independent initiative with no official backing from the United Arab Emirates government.
The foundation behind The Open Network (TON) has released a statement clarifying its role in a program that could lead to legal residency in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after conflicting reports over the weekend.
In a Monday blog post, the TON Foundation said it was in the “early stages of development” with a licensed partner to explore the creation of a UAE Golden Visa. The group added that any authority for the program rested entirely with the UAE government entities and was subject to applicable laws and regulations.
“To clarify, no official Golden Visa program has launched in partnership with the government of the United Arab Emirates, nor has any governmental endorsement been granted to TON,” said the foundation.
