Golden Visa

A decade-long resident visa is tailored for investors, business owners, researchers, medical professionals, engineers, and exceptional students. This visa is particularly enticing for those aiming for prolonged residence in the UAE, as it permits unlimited extensions.
Eligibility
By investment
Most candidates who are seeking a Golden Visa are investing in UAE real estate worth AED 2 000 000 (approximately USD 545 000).
Optionally, you can be attained for the application by depositing a substantial sum of AED 2 000 000 (approximately USD 545 000) with a UAE bank.
In addition to making a considerable capital investment, you can become eligible as
A supervisor or manager with a pay grade above the prescribed threshold of AED 30 000 (about USD 8 200).
An individual with a particular high level of expertise, or
An individual of outstanding capabilities, such as a sportsman or a notable cultural figure.
As a result, the requirements for obtaining a Golden Visa differ, which means that the application process and necessary documents also vary depending not only on the visa type but also on the emirate where the application is being submitted. For example, the process of filing an application for a Golden Visa as a company manager in Dubai is entirely distinct from applying as a manager of a company located in Abu Dhabi.
