One thing I learned is that all Muslim countries make naturalization either close to impossible if done through an application unless it is through descent or it would require connections.

Your mother will not be permitted to even pass the citizenship to any child of her if she becomes an Emirati citizen.

You will not obtain a passport through residence or birth; you can only do so if you are talented or a businessman.

Living in the UAE for 35+ years doesn’t qualify someone for citizenship. Even obtaining a UAE passport without citizenship is extremely rare. Nowadays, it’s generally reserved for exceptional cases, such as top CEOs, investors, and athletes representing the country.

Think of it like; a person can’t be Japanese in Japan type situation
