WhatsApp quotePut simply, the Entrepreneur Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable 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 residency 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.

Just as important, ras Al Khaimah businesses in districts such as Al Nakheel, Al Dhait, Al Hamra, Al Marjan Island and Al Qusaidat use GoldenKey for Entrepreneur Golden Visa because we combine local presence with federal expertise.
