The 10-year Golden Visa removes the two-year renewal treadmill entirely — and more people qualify than realise. Here are the main routes and the evidence each one needs.
Property investors (AED 2M+ in qualifying real estate); business investors and entrepreneurs; skilled professionals — typically a monthly salary of AED 30,000+ with an attested bachelor's degree in a qualifying field; plus doctors, engineers, scientists and outstanding students. The 5-year Green Visa runs parallel for skilled employees (AED 15,000+) and freelancers with income proof.
Most rejections are documentation failures, not eligibility failures: unattested degrees, salary certificates that don't match bank inflows, or investment proofs in the wrong format. The file must be internally consistent — every number verifiable.
Ten years of self-sponsored residency, no employer dependency, family sponsored for the same duration, and freedom to change jobs or run businesses without touching your residency. For many professionals the value is simply never thinking about visa renewal again.
Eligibility assessment → evidence assembly (attestation where needed) → nomination/application through ICP → approval → medical and biometrics → 10-year residence issued → family files processed. Straightforward salaried cases often complete within 2–4 weeks.
Salary is the headline criterion for the professional route, but the degree must be attested and the role/field must qualify. We assess the full profile honestly before you spend anything.
Family sponsorship under the Golden Visa is generous for spouse and children; parent sponsorship follows separate rules. We confirm current criteria for your case.
Its thresholds are lower (AED 15,000 salaried route, freelancer route with income proof), making it the practical choice for many who miss Golden criteria today.
