UAE Residency Services

Relevant for business owners, investors, executives, property buyers, and families relocating to the UAE.

The right visa route depends on your structure, assets, business activity, and practical objectives, not only on speed.

Residency, banking usability, family sponsorship, and tax position should be considered together, not as separate questions.

UAE residency is not one product. It is a set of routes with different legal bases, timelines, and long-term implications. We help clients choose the right residency path for their real situation, founders, investors, property owners, and families, and manage the process properly from start to finish.

Frequently asked questions

What are the main ways to get UAE residency?

The main routes usually include employment-based residency, company-owner or investor residency, property-linked residency, and certain long-term categories such as the Golden Visa. The right route depends on your actual profile and objectives.

Can I get UAE residency through my own company?

Yes, in many cases founders and shareholders can obtain residency through a UAE company, provided the structure and immigration conditions support it. The details depend on the jurisdiction, licence type, and shareholding position.

Can I get residency by buying property in Dubai?

Potentially yes. Property-linked residency is available in specific cases, but eligibility depends on the value, form of ownership, and current immigration criteria in force at the time of application.

Can my spouse and children be included?

Yes, in many situations UAE residents can sponsor dependent visas for spouse and children, subject to the applicable immigration rules and documentary requirements.

How long does the UAE residency process usually take?

For straightforward cases, residency processing may take a few weeks from document readiness to completion. Timelines vary depending on the route, approvals, and whether the underlying structure is already in place.

Is UAE residency the same as UAE tax residency?

No. A residence visa may help support a broader UAE tax position, but the two are not the same. Tax residency depends on a wider legal and factual analysis.

Anyone can open a licence. We focus on whether the structure still works in a year.
