Investor Visa for UAE entities

Coordinated facilitation of partner / shareholder residency tied to a UAE legal entity.

An investor or partner visa ties a residency status to ownership of a UAE legal entity. The category is appropriate for founders running an active operating company, holding-company structures, and minority partners with formal stakes.

Process

  1. 01

    Entity selection and structure

    [TO BE REPLACED] Where the entity does not yet exist, we coordinate jurisdiction selection (see Free zone or Mainland services) and articulate how shareholder allocation maps to visa entitlement.

  2. 02

    Establishment Card and immigration file

    [TO BE REPLACED] Once the trade licence is in hand, we sequence the Establishment Card and the company immigration file required for visa issuance.

  3. 03

    Entry permit and status change

    [TO BE REPLACED] Coordinate the entry permit, in-country status change (where applicable), and biometrics.

  4. 04

    Medical and Emirates ID

    [TO BE REPLACED] Outline the medical / biometrics / Emirates ID sequence.

  5. 05

    Family sponsorship

    [TO BE REPLACED] On principal's residence issuance, coordinate sponsorship of spouse and dependants.

Documents required

  • Passport copy with valid entry status
  • Recent passport-style photograph
  • Trade licence and Memorandum of Association
  • Establishment Card (where already issued)
  • Tenancy contract / Ejari or free zone office reference
  • [TO BE REPLACED — add documents typical for the chosen jurisdiction]

Timeline

[TO BE REPLACED — typical sequence: licence → Establishment Card → entry permit → status change → medical → Emirates ID → visa stamping. Provide a realistic range, emphasise authority discretion.]

Frequently asked

Do I need to be physically in the UAE during the process?
[TO BE REPLACED] In-country presence is required for medical and biometrics. We sequence the file to minimise total in-country days.
Can my spouse and children be sponsored under my investor visa?
[TO BE REPLACED] Yes — family sponsorship follows after the principal's Emirates ID. Subject to standard documentation and salary/income criteria where applicable.
Is an investor visa interchangeable with a Golden Visa?
[TO BE REPLACED] No. Investor visa is tied to a UAE entity; Golden Visa is a separate long-term residence framework with broader criteria. We can advise on which path fits before filing.
What happens if I exit the company?
[TO BE REPLACED] The visa is contingent on the underlying ownership; on exit, the residency status is updated accordingly.
