Frequently Asked Questions

Golden Visa holders get long-term residency (5 or 10 years, renewable), no local sponsor, and—uniquely—your residence stays valid even if you’re outside the UAE for 6+ months. You can sponsor your family (spouse and children, regardless of age) and an unlimited number of domestic helpers; if the main holder passes away, family can remain until their permit expires.

Those benefits are federal, and applications are handled through ICP (nationwide) or GDRFA-Dubai (for Dubai files). We prep your file, line up endorsements where needed, and guide you through the official portals step-by-step

Popular paths include: Real Estate Investor (property worth AED 2M+ at purchase value), Investor in Public Investments (e.g., AED 2M in an accredited fund or capital, plus tax letter in some cases), Entrepreneurs, and Specialised Talents (doctors, scientists, creatives, executives, athletes).

For salaried expats, Skilled Professional routes exist (e.g., Abu Dhabi’s program requires AED 30,000+ monthly salary and other criteria). We’ll confirm which emirate program fits your profile and assemble evidence accordingly.

Timelines vary with category, emirate, and how quickly third-party letters (bank/fund/FTA/DLD) arrive. The government side is usually fast once endorsements are in place; delays often come from missing or mis-worded letters. We start with a free eligibility check, then build your file so your ICP/GDRFA steps run in one smooth pass.
If family members are joining, we sync their medicals/biometrics and residence issuance with yours so everyone receives stamping and Emirates ID together.

Yes—property at AED 2M+ qualifies for the Golden Visa. If it’s mortgaged, Dubai Land Department accepts a bank letter showing AED 2M paid toward the mortgage as proof for the 10-year investor visa service. We’ll coordinate the exact bank letter format the DLD page specifies.

For off-plan, we’ll check the latest DLD/Developer status and whether your payment schedule and title/oqood meet the emirate’s rules before we file. Different emirates may vary slightly; we align your evidence to the correct authority.

Applications run through the federal ICP “One-Touch Golden Visa” service (all emirates) or GDRFA Dubai for Dubai-issued files. The One-Touch flow streamlines eligibility check, status regularization, visa issuance, Emirates ID, and renewals. We prepare your digital file, then guide you through the exact steps in your emirate.

Prefer concierge? We’ll build and QA the entire pack, book your medical/biometrics, and provide free document pick-up & drop in nearby Dubai areas (courier options for farther locations) from our offices at 408 Nasser Lootah Bldg, Bur Dubai and 301A API Tower, Trade Center.

For property: DLD/Tamm letter showing AED 2M+ purchase value (and bank letter if mortgaged), passport, Emirates ID/visa, and medical/insurance. For public-investment: fund/bank letter confirming AED 2M deposit or corporate docs showing capital ≥ AED 2M, plus (where requested) FTA AED 250k tax letter.|

For skilled professionals: employment contract, salary proof (e.g., AED 30k+ under Abu Dhabi’s scheme), attested degree, and any license if your occupation requires one. We map your evidence to the exact emirate checklist to avoid rework.

Your Golden Visa must be renewed on the same (or another) category; you’ll need to still meet the criteria at renewal. If you dispose of your qualifying asset or drop below thresholds (e.g., property value or investment), renewal may not be granted under that route. We’ll plan your timing—e.g., switch categories (talent/entrepreneur) or re-establish eligibility—before your renewal window.

Changing employers is fine if your category allows it (e.g., property or public-investment routes aren’t tied to an employer). For salary-based routes, keep your contract/salary aligned with the emirate’s rule (e.g., AED 30k+ in Abu Dhabi). We track your documents so nothing lapses.

Yes. The federal rule allows a Golden Visa via public investments—for example, a letter from an accredited investment fund confirming a deposit of AED 2M, or company capital ≥ AED 2M; some cases also need a Federal Tax Authority letter confirming AED 250k+ in annual tax paid. We help you obtain the right letters from recognized entities before you apply.

If you’re considering a fixed bank deposit route, we’ll verify the bank/fund accreditation and wording, then package your application to match ICP’s checklist so pre-assessment goes smoothly.

Federally, you can sponsor your spouse and children (no age limit) and unlimited domestic helpers. Those benefits apply across the UAE.

For parents, Dubai’s DLD investor service explicitly lists that parents can be sponsored under the property-investor Golden Visa; other emirates may set extra conditions. We’ll confirm sponsorship rules for your route and emirate before submission.

Yes—Golden Visa holders are exempt from the normal 6-month outside rule and can keep their residence active while abroad. Family members under your Golden Visa benefit from the same framework and may remain in the UAE if the main holder passes away, until their permits expire.

We’ll still set you up with reminders for ID renewals/medical insurance and keep your documents current so re-entry is smooth whenever you return.
