Real Estate Investors

Procedures for the UAE Golden Visa
-
Applications for UAE residence must include completed application forms and should be accompanied by the appropriate fees and supporting documents. Golden Residence visas obtained are valid for 10 years and can be renewed thereafter. Residing outside the UAE does not nullify the visa. Investments must be held for at least three years.
-
Once the initial due diligence checks have been completed and the retainer paid, then the application for UAE residence can be submitted to the government.
-
Once the requirements have been fulfilled, pending initial approval of the application, the successful applicant receives a six-month multiple-entry visa and travels to the UAE to apply for an ID card and undergo a medical check. Thereafter, full approval is granted and the client receives the residence visa.
