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:
Time required to obtain a residence visa is 2 – 3 weeks.
*The funds must remain in the deposit account for the entire validity period of the visa (10 years), i.e. after 2 years the deposit must be renewed.
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).
