Golden Visa

The long term UAE residence visa, granted for five or ten years against a named category. We work out which category you actually qualify under before anything is filed.

Back to Services

The Golden Visa is a long term residence visa that lets you live, work or study in the UAE without a local sponsor, renewing at the end of each term while you still meet the conditions. It is granted for five or ten years depending on which category you enter under, and the category is the whole decision. Most rejected applications are not weak people, they are strong people filed under the wrong category with the wrong evidence. The UAE government portal lists the routes as investors in public investments or in real estate, entrepreneurs, people of exceptional talent and rare specialisations, outstanding students and graduates, and humanitarian pioneers and frontline heroes, each with its own evidence. We assess you against all of them, tell you which one is real for you, and say so plainly when none of them is yet.

Key Features

  • Category assessment before anything is filed, because the evidence a public investment file needs and the evidence an exceptional talent file needs have almost nothing in common
  • Investor routes checked against the stated conditions: a minimum capital of AED 2 million for the ten year public investment route, and for the five year property route either property ownership or a contribution to an establishment paying at least AED 250,000 a year in taxes
  • Entrepreneur files built around what the route asks for, being proof of an innovative or technical project, documents proving the project value, and a letter from a business incubator or the relevant authority
  • Talent, student and humanitarian files assembled with the recommendation letters, accredited degrees, certificates of excellence or service record each subcategory calls for
  • You supply your passport, your Emirates ID if you hold one, and the evidence behind whichever route fits, which is what decides the category before any fee is paid

Benefits for Your Business

  • You find out which category you qualify under before you pay anything, instead of after a rejection.
  • Five or ten years of residence with no local sponsor, renewing while the conditions still hold.
  • The family file handled alongside your own, so the residence is a household arrangement rather than a personal one.
  • An honest answer when no category fits yet, and what would have to change for one to fit later.
General information, not immigration advice. The categories, conditions and thresholds above are those published by the UAE government portal, read on 16 September 2026, and are set by the federal authorities rather than by us. Eligibility is decided by the authority on the file it sees, and we confirm the current position before you commit.
