Benefits of Golden Visa

Long Term Residency

At the core of the Golden Visa UAE is the 5 or 10-year renewable residency visa. Unlike other visas, it does not require a sponsor, taking away significant complexity from the process. Enjoy unprecedented freedom to work, live, and invest on your own terms. 

Family Sponsorship

Golden Visa opens up the doors not just for you, but for your family too. You can sponsor your spouses and children regardless of their age. Additionally, you can sponsor unlimited domestic helpers to ensure your family leads a comfortable life here. 

No Restrictions on Traveling

Unlike other visa programs, the Golden Visa imposes no six-month rule restrictions. You can travel and stay outside the UAE for more than 6 months without losing your residency. This is of special significance for freelancers, investors, and entrepreneurs who travel often to keep their businesses running.

Flexible Investment Opportunities

With a Golden Visa, you don't require 100% AED 2 million upfront. Off-plan and mortgaged properties are equally qualified for a Golden Visa.
