WhatsApp quoteFor most clients, the Entrepreneur Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable UAE residence visa for entrepreneurs 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 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. In our experience, malaysians are a community in Islamic finance, halal food, oil and gas and education, so the Entrepreneur Golden Visa authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Malaysian applications every day and process them without hesitation. In short, malaysia and the UAE cooperate closely in Islamic finance and halal trade, with Dubai as the regional hub, which gives Malaysian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Entrepreneur Golden Visa licence is issued.
Why Entrepreneur Golden Visa
On the ground, eligibility for the Entrepreneur Golden Visa requires own or partner in a UAE SME with annual revenue of at least AED 1 million. Benefits of the Entrepreneur Golden Visa include 10-year residency for the founder, sponsor co-company owners, spouse and children and flexible residency without a sponsor company. GoldenKey has prepared Entrepreneur Golden Visa files for Malaysian customers in Islamic finance, halal food, oil and gas services and education, which means we know which Malaysia papers need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.
