WhatsApp quoteThe Entrepreneur Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable UAE UAE residence visa for company owners of SMEs or start-ups with annual revenue of AED 1 million or more, or those whose venture is approved by an accredited incubator. In practice, 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. The most common businesses Hungarians open through GoldenKey are in healthcare, IT services, engineering and food exports, although Entrepreneur Golden Visa supports almost any activity. As we tell every client, for Hungarian entrepreneurs, the UAE is around 5.5 hours from Budapest, the UAE is 2 to 3 hours ahead of Hungary, and English is the business language.
Why Entrepreneur Golden Visa
In practice, benefits of the Entrepreneur Golden Visa include 10-year residency for the founder, sponsor co-founders, spouse and children and flexible residency without a sponsor company. For most clients, processing of the Entrepreneur Golden Visa is 4 to 8 weeks including the Ministry of Economy approval, and GoldenKey tracks each approval stage for you. Hungarian applicants benefit from the fact that Entrepreneur Golden Visa already has many Hungarian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Hungary supporting documents and name formats instantly.
