Long-term residency

Golden Visa

10-year renewable residency for investors, entrepreneurs, executives and skilled professionals, with no sponsor and no minimum stay.

Overview

How we handle golden visa

The UAE Golden Visa gives you and your family 10 years of residency independent of any employer or company, with the freedom to stay outside the country as long as you like. It is the most stable route for founders who split time between Dubai and other markets.

Eligibility is broader than most people expect. Real estate investors from AED 2 million, executives earning AED 30,000 a month, founders of companies with AED 1 million turnover, and holders of specialist degrees all qualify. We assess you against every category and file under the strongest one.

FAQ

Common questions.

Still unsure? Browse the full FAQ

Do I need to own property?

No. Property is one route. Salary, company ownership, specialist qualifications and outstanding students each have their own thresholds.

Is there a minimum stay?

No. Golden Visa holders can remain outside the UAE indefinitely without losing residency.

Can I keep my company visa?

The Golden Visa replaces it. Your company no longer needs to sponsor you, which frees up its visa quota.
