UAE Golden Visa
10 year residency for eligible investors, professionals and individuals – securing your future in the UAE
The UAE Golden Visa programme offers 10 year residency to eligible investors, professionals and individuals who meet defined criteria. Designed to attract talent and capital, the programme provides extended residency security within a stable and globally connected environment.
Eligibility pathways vary depending on investment level, professional category and asset structure. Our qualified UAE visa experts advise clients on qualification criteria, documentation preparation and submission strategy, ensuring Golden Visa applications align with current UAE regulations.
Eligibility pathways
Three routes to UAE Golden Visa
Each pathway has distinct eligibility criteria, documentation requirements and processing timelines
Fixed Deposit Investment
One pathway to UAE Golden Visa eligibility involves qualifying fixed deposit investment within approved UAE financial institutions. Minimum thresholds and holding periods apply, and compliance with regulatory criteria is essential.
We guide clients through the investment process, coordinating documentation and liaising with relevant authorities to ensure alignment between financial placement and residency application requirements.
Property Investment
Property investment is a recognised route to long-term residency under the UAE Golden Visa. Valuation thresholds, ownership structures and encumbrance conditions must meet defined regulatory standards.
Our UAE visa experts advise on qualifying property investments and coordinate the residency application process to ensure eligibility criteria are met and documentation is properly prepared for approvals.
Professional Category
Highly skilled professionals in designated sectors may qualify for UAE Golden Visa residency based on academic qualifications, employment status and regulatory approvals. Criteria vary by category and require formal verifications.
We assess eligibility under the professional category and manage the submission process, ensuring supporting documentation aligns with current UAE immigration guidelines.
