Investor & Partner Visa

UAE residency through your own company — processed with your license or added to it.

Quick answer: An investor or partner visa gives UAE residency to owners and shareholders of UAE companies. Requirements are your trade license, MOA showing your share, immigration file/e-channel, then the standard chain: entry permit or status change, medical, Emirates ID and stamping. Al Karam processes it as part of company formation or for your existing license.

If you own or co-own a UAE company — mainland or free zone — the investor/partner visa is your route to residency, renewable as long as the company stays active. It also lets you sponsor your family.

We activate or update the company immigration file, type the ICP applications, and complete medical, biometrics and stamping. For new setups this is bundled into formation; for existing companies we audit the establishment card and e-channel first, since expired files are the most common hidden blocker.

How it works

  1. File audit — License, establishment card and e-channel validity verified.
  2. Entry permit / status change — ICP application typed and submitted.
  3. Medical & biometrics — Fitness test and Emirates ID capture.
  4. Stamping — Residence visa issued, typically 2–3 year validity.
  5. Family sponsorship — Optional next step — we process dependents immediately after.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum investment for an investor visa?

There is no single UAE-wide minimum for a standard partner visa via mainland or free zone license — owning shares in an active licensed company qualifies you. (The 10-year Golden investor route has separate thresholds.)

How long is an investor visa valid?

Typically 2 years (mainland) or 2 years (free zone packages), renewable. Golden visa routes offer 10 years — see our Golden Visa service.

Can I work for another company on an investor visa?

You may manage your own company; working for another employer requires a proper work permit arrangement. We advise on compliant structures.

My establishment card expired — is that a problem?

Yes, it blocks visa processing. We renew establishment cards and e-channel registrations as part of the service.

Can my partner abroad get this visa remotely?

We prepare everything remotely; they enter on the entry permit and complete medical and biometrics after arrival.
