What is the UAE Golden Visa Program?
Launched as a strategic initiative to attract and retain global talent, the UAE Golden Visa offers a level of stability and benefits far exceeding a standard residence visa. It is designed for specific categories of individuals, including investors, entrepreneurs, exceptional talents, scientists, and outstanding students.
For business owners, the Golden Visa provides an unparalleled sense of security and a solid foundation for long-term business planning. Unlike a standard two-year Investor Visa, it does not require frequent renewals and offers enhanced sponsorship benefits. Achieving this status is a significant milestone, and our expert services are designed to guide you through the entire qualification and application process.

Golden Visa FAQs
Can I apply for the Golden Visa if I have an existing Investor Visa?
Yes. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply to upgrade your current 2-year <Link href='/uae-investor-visa'>Investor Visa</Link> to a 10-year Golden Visa. We can manage this conversion process.
Does the real estate investment have to be a single property?
No, you can combine multiple properties to meet the AED 2 million threshold. However, the properties must be fully paid for and not under a mortgage to qualify.
What is the "Entrepreneur" category?
This category is for founders of UAE-based companies. To qualify, your company must be registered as an SME and generate annual revenues of at least AED 1 million, or you must have a founder's share in a company that was sold for over AED 7 million. It requires an official letter from an accredited business incubator or relevant authority.
