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;
  • photo;
  • confirmation from a UAE bank of at least AED 2 000 000 deposited for at least 2 years*.

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.

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).
