The UAE is now a friendly second home for individuals of many ethnicities who have managed to support the growth and development of the country. The Gold Visa system was developed to give long-term residence in the UAE to the chosen people who have invested in and played an essential role in the UAE’s economic success. To further promote this progress, the state has now established the Golden Visa UAE for businesses worldwide to encourage more thought leadership and investment in the nation.

How to get Golden visa in the UAE


Investors, businessmen, individuals with specialized skills, researchers in many sectors of science and knowledge, and prospective students all may qualify for the "golden visa," which is awarded to those with exceptional intellectual potential.

In certain cases, top Emiratis or government agencies would propose applicants for a business golden visa in the UAE, while in other cases, applicants will submit their own applications online.

People with budgets of Dh1 million to Dh2 million investing in real estate have a number of opportunities to choose from as well.

A golden visa recipient's dependents are eligible to seek residency in the UAE.
