Golden Visa Assistance in Dubai
Long-term UAE residency for investors, entrepreneurs, and skilled professionals. Expert guidance on eligibility, documentation, and application from start to finish.
Golden Visa Dubai — the UAE's long-term residency programme — grants 5 or 10-year renewable residency to qualifying investors, entrepreneurs, skilled professionals, and exceptional talents. Unlike standard investor visas or employment visas, the Golden Visa does not require renewal tied to an active trade licence or employer. It gives holders and their families stable, long-term legal status in the UAE — an increasingly attractive proposition for business owners, high-net-worth individuals, and professionals who want to plant roots in Dubai without the uncertainty of standard visa cycles. Once you have your Golden Visa, our team also assists with corporate banking, accounting, and PRO services to keep your Dubai business running smoothly.
Eligibility Categories
Investors — Property (AED 2M+)
Holders of UAE real estate valued at AED 2 million or more (completed, not off-plan). From 2026, mortgaged properties qualify if the owner has paid at least 50% of the property value and meets the AED 2M threshold. One of the most accessible pathways. Over 60% of Golden Visas issued via property investors.

Individuals who invest a minimum of AED 2 million in approved UAE public investment funds, existing businesses, or as co-founders with a qualifying equity stake. The investment must be maintained for the visa duration.
