Obtaining a UAE golden visa for investment in a UAE business/company Service offer

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federal state located on the Arabian Peninsula and consisting of 7 emirates: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm al Quwain, Fujairah, and Sharjah.
A fast-growing economy, business-friendly climate, developed infrastructure, high standard of living, no tax on personal income, multicultural and safe environment – these are the reasons why the UAE attracts investors and highly qualified specialists from around the world.

Major advantages of a residence visa

A residence visa enables its holder:

to live in the country;

to become a tax resident (subject to additional conditions);

to open a bank account;

to rent property under an official contract;

to connect mobile services;

to obtain a driving licence.

In 2022, the UAE amended its migration laws to significantly expand the grounds for issuing a golden visa.

In particular, a golden visa can be applied for by UAE business owners who

have invested at least AED 2 000 000 in their company

pay at least AED 250 000 annually in taxes.

This visa has also been given a longer validity period and advantages over an ‘ordinary’ residence visa:

a golden visa is valid for up to 10 years;
no visa sponsor is required;
residence visas can be issued to family members without any age restrictions;
no restriction on staying outside the UAE.
