Obtaining a UAE golden visa through a UAE bank deposit. 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, applicants who deposit at least AED 2 000 000 into a UAE bank account for at least 2 years may qualify for a golden visa.

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.

List of main documents

  • passport;
  • current residence visa and Emirates ID (if applicable);
  • digital photo;
  • confirmation from a UAE bank of at least AED 2 000 000 deposited for at least 2 years;
  • proof of residential address in the UAE (tenancy agreement, title deed or utility bill).

Time required to obtain a residence visa is 1.5 – 2.5 weeks.

The applicant must be staying in the UAE throughout the entire visa application process, from the application date until the residence visa is issued.

Golden visa for family members

After getting his/her golden visa, the investor can apply for residence visas for his/her family members: spouse, minor children, unmarried adult daughters, adult sons receiving full-time education, and dependent parents (a visa for parents is issued for 1 year).
