Understanding the UAE Residence Visa
A UAE Residence Visa is a long-term permit that allows a foreign national to live and work legally in the United Arab Emirates. Typically valid for two years, it is sponsored by your newly formed company, whether it's a Free Zone or Mainland entity.
This visa is mandatory for opening a personal bank account, signing residential leases, and accessing government services. It serves as the foundation of your personal and professional life in the UAE, and our experts ensure the process is managed efficiently and correctly from start to finish.

Our 4-Step Visa Application Process
Entry Permit Issuance
We begin by applying for an entry permit, which allows you to enter the UAE for the purpose of processing your residency.
Medical Fitness Test
Once you are in the UAE, we schedule your mandatory medical fitness test, which includes a blood test and a chest X-ray.
Emirates ID Biometrics
We then book your appointment for Emirates ID biometrics, where your fingerprints and photo are captured for your official ID card.
Visa Stamping
Upon passing the medical test, your passport is submitted to the immigration authority for the final Residence Visa stamping. Our PRO team handles this entire process.
