| Validity | 10 years (renewable) | 2–3 years (renewable) |
| Sponsor requirement | Self-sponsored via investment | Requires employer or company sponsor |
| Minimum stay | No minimum stay requirement to maintain | Typically requires periodic renewal with sponsor |
| Outside UAE | May stay outside the UAE indefinitely without losing status | Extended absence may affect sponsorship status |
| Dependants | Spouse and children included, regardless of age | Children covered up to age 18 (25 if studying) |
| Domestic staff | Permits sponsorship of domestic workers | Permits sponsorship of domestic workers |
| Employment flexibility | Full freedom to work, establish businesses, or be self-employed | Tied to sponsoring entity |

The application process for the Dubai Golden Visa is structured across several stages. We manage the entire process on your behalf:
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Route Selection
We assess your objectives, budget, risk tolerance, and family circumstances to recommend the most suitable route.
Step 2: Investment Execution
Depending on the chosen route:
Step 3: Document Preparation
We assemble and verify all required documentation, including:
Step 4: Application Submission
The application is submitted to the relevant UAE authorities — typically through the Federal Authority for Identity, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) or the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) in Dubai.
Step 5: Biometrics and Medical
Once the initial application is approved, the applicant attends a biometrics appointment (fingerprints and photograph) and completes the medical fitness examination.
Step 6: Visa Issuance and Emirates ID
Upon final approval, the Golden Visa is issued, and the applicant applies for an Emirates ID card — the mandatory national identity card for all UAE residents.
Step 7: Dependant Applications
Spouse and children’s applications are processed either concurrently or immediately following the principal applicant’s approval. Parents may also be sponsored under certain conditions.
While requirements may vary depending on the investment route and the applicant’s nationality, the following documents are generally required:
Document attestation and legalisation requirements vary by country of origin. We provide detailed guidance on the specific attestations required and can facilitate the process where needed.
One of the most valued features of the Golden Visa is its inclusive approach to family:
The family-friendly nature of the Golden Visa makes it particularly attractive for clients planning to relocate their household to the UAE or establish a base for their family’s future.
The UAE currently imposes no personal income tax, no capital gains tax, no inheritance tax, and no wealth tax on individuals. Key points for private clients to consider:
Over our years of assisting private clients, we have observed several recurring issues:
| Stage | Typical Duration |
|---|---|
| Initial consultation and route selection | 1 working day |
| Investment execution (real estate / financial / deposit) | 2–6 working days (varies by route) |
| Document preparation and attestation | 2–4 working days (varies by country of origin) |
| Application submission and government review | 2–4 working days |
| Biometrics and medical examination | 1 working day |
| Visa issuance and Emirates ID | 1–2 days |
| Total estimated timeline | Approximately 9–18 working days |
Real estate transactions may extend the timeline if property completion or transfer is delayed. Bank deposit and financial product routes tend to be faster once the account is opened and funded.
