The short answer

UAE Golden Visa in Short

The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term 10-year residence visa that renews without an employer or company sponsor. Main routes include real estate investors (property investment at the government threshold), entrepreneurs and business owners, and skilled professionals meeting the salary and qualification criteria. Holders can sponsor their family, and the visa does not lapse on the usual six-month stay-out rule that applies to standard visas.

Sponsor your spouse and children, with their applications running alongside yours.

Travel Freely
