A Celebrity Story That Inspires
At Startup Works (Emirates First – Mother Company), we’ve always believed that the Golden Visa in the UAE is more than just a document, it’s a gateway to long-term opportunities, stability, and global recognition.
we had the privilege of assisting one of the most celebrated actors in Indian cinema, Tovino Thomas, in securing his Golden Visa in Dubai. This wasn’t just another visa process for us, it was a moment of pride, partnership, and proof of how the UAE continues to attract the world’s most talented individuals.
Who Is Tovino Thomas?
Tovino Thomas is one of India’s most versatile and admired actors, known for films like Minnal Murali, Mayanadhi, and 2018. His performances have won him millions of fans, along with critical acclaim for his dedication to cinema and storytelling.
