WhatsApp quoteImportantly, the Entrepreneur Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable UAE UAE residence visa for founders of SMEs or start-ups with annual revenue of AED 1 million or more, or those whose venture is approved by an accredited incubator. Unlike a standard UAE residence visa, the Entrepreneur Golden Visa does not depend on an employer or a company sponsor, and it allows you to stay outside the UAE for extended periods without losing residency. From day one, payments between Greece and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle fast and UAE banks are familiar with Greek business profiles. To be clear, for Greek business owners, the UAE is around 4.5 hours from Athens, the UAE is 1 to 2 hours ahead of Greece, and English is the business language.
Why Entrepreneur Golden Visa
As we tell every client, benefits of the Entrepreneur Golden Visa include 10-year residency for the founder, sponsor co-business owners, spouse and children and flexible residency without a sponsor company. Day to day, the Entrepreneur Golden Visa is released by the federal ICP or by GDRFA Dubai, and the supporting approval depends on your category. Greek applicants benefit from the fact that Entrepreneur Golden Visa already has many Greek shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Greece documents and name formats instantly.
