UAE Golden Visa
Check your eligibility and apply for the UAE's long-term Golden Visa as an investor, entrepreneur or professional.
What this service covers
The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residence visa, typically valid for up to ten years and renewable, that does not need an employer or local sponsor. It can usually cover your spouse and children too.
We assess which category fits you, prepare the evidence the authorities expect and manage the application through to Emirates ID.
Who it is for
- Property and business investors
- Founders and entrepreneurs with UAE companies
- Senior and skilled professionals working in the UAE
- Families who want stable long-term residence
