The Golden Visa is a ten-year UAE residence permit that does not depend on an employer. It is popular with investors, senior professionals and families planning a long stay, and the rules have become clearer each year.
1. Who qualifies
The main routes are for property investors, business owners, senior professionals and people with exceptional talent. Each route has its own thresholds for investment, salary or recognition, and you only need to meet one.
2. What it costs
Expect government fees, medical tests and Emirates ID charges for every applicant, plus attestation and translation of documents. Our fee is fixed and quoted separately, so you can see exactly where the money goes.
Key point
Most delays come from documents issued abroad that were not attested before the application started.
3. How long it really takes
Once documents are ready, most applications we file take three to five weeks from submission to residency card. Families are usually filed together so everyone is approved at the same time.
“Check eligibility before paying any government fee. It is the cheapest step and the one people skip.”
4. Bringing your family
Spouses, children and in some cases parents can be sponsored on the same visa. We plan the applications together so the family can move at once.
