WhatsApp quoteThis illustrative scenario shows how a Slovenian founder set up an event management company in Dubai with GoldenKey; names and figures are representative of typical client journeys rather than a specific client.
The starting point
A Slovenian entrepreneur from Ljubljana wanted to launch an event management company serving customers in the UAE and Slovenia. The priorities were a credible licence, a residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why Dubai
After comparing options, Dubai was chosen for its unrestricted UAE-wide trading and because event management is a well-established activity there. GoldenKey confirmed the activity code and the visa package in the first consultation.
The process
GoldenKey reserved the trade name, obtained initial approval and submitted attested documents from Slovenia. The licence was issued in line with the usual Dubai timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.
Banking and tax
With the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to event management. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
The business was invoicing customers within weeks of the first call, with a UAE address, a resident founder and a compliance calendar managed by GoldenKey. The same path is available to any Slovenian founder considering event management in Dubai.

Frequently asked questions
Can my family from Slovenia join me?
Crucially, once your investor visa is issued you can sponsor your spouse and children, and GoldenKey processes their visas alongside yours.
How long does the process take for Slovenian applicants?
Just as important, processing for Slovenians follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Slovenia that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
Do Slovenians need a UAE visa before applying for Dubai?
No. You can apply for the licence from Slovenia with scanned supporting documents, and the investor residence visa is processed afterwards.
