About the Golden Residency Visa in UAE

The Golden Visa in the UAE is a special long-term permit that allows foreign talents — including investors, entrepreneurs, scientists, outstanding students and exceptional individuals — to live, work or study in the country with exclusive benefits. The UAE Golden Visa is usually granted as a 5-year or 10-year residency visa. Eligibility criteria vary by field, but every applicant must meet the requirements issued by the UAE government.

We at Emirates Business Setup help you obtain your Golden Visa in the UAE. Our priority is to check your profile closely against the Golden Visa requirements issued by the UAE government. Don’t get stressed — we are highly experienced, with a 100% success rate, and we are here to help you.

UAE Golden Visa Benefits

Securing a long-term residency visa in the UAE comes with numerous benefits: a self-sponsored visa with no sponsor required, 100% business ownership, the freedom to live, study and work in the UAE, future security for your family, a quality lifestyle with quality healthcare, and straightforward visa renewals.

UAE Golden Visa Requirements

Requirements vary based on the residence type — investor, talent or entrepreneur. Note that foreign documents (degrees, marriage and birth certificates) must be attested for UAE use — our Attestation Service handles the full chain from 105+ countries. For the general documentation, we need the following from your side to check your eligibility:

Dubai Golden Visa Criteria

The Golden Visa gives foreign nationals a 10-year or 5-year residence visa — where standard permits run only two or three years:

For Investors

People who have invested AED 2 million in real estate are eligible for a Golden Visa.

For Entrepreneurs

Business owners running a thriving firm year after year, with an annual audit report of AED 10 million. Requirements and method vary case by case.

For Skilled Workers

Skilled professionals need a work permit, a valid professional licence where applicable, and — most importantly — a monthly salary starting at AED 30,000.

For Students

Students who scored above a 3.8 GPA, graduating within the last 2 years from a university rated by the Ministry of Education, can apply for the 10-year Golden Visa.

In Detail

Golden Visa Pathways — The Fine Print That Decides

Eligibility often comes down to details most providers never mention. Here are the rules that matter:

Property route — AED 2 million (the flexible rules)
Your property qualifies if it is worth AED 2 million or more — and the rules are more flexible than most people think: mortgaged and off-plan properties may qualify (with significant development progress; off-plan in Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah is now accepted), a previously bought property that is NOW valued at AED 2M counts, the property can be jointly owned by spouses, and in Dubai no minimum upfront payment applies. If the owners are unrelated, the combined value must exceed AED 4 million. We verify your exact case before you apply.
Fixed deposit route — AED 2 million
A fixed deposit of AED 2 million in a local UAE bank qualifies you — the deposit must be maintained in the bank for at least two years. A clean route for those who prefer liquidity over property.
Public investment route — AED 10 million
Public investments of at least AED 10 million qualify — as a deposit in a local investment fund, by establishing a new company, or by investing in an existing one. At least 60% of the total investment must be outside real estate.
Graduates — top universities, GPA 3.5+
Recent graduates from top-rated universities recognised by the UAE Ministry of Education can apply — with a minimum 3.5 GPA and graduation within the last two years. A remarkable early-career route to 10-year residency.
Benefits most providers never tell you about
Beyond the 10-year residency: Golden Visa holders are exempt from the 6-month stay-out rule (normal visas lapse if you stay abroad too long — yours does not), you can sponsor an unlimited number of domestic staff (maids, drivers, personal assistants), your family is sponsored regardless of age, and you get fast-tracked access and discounts on services like driving licences, health insurance and government transactions.
