WhatsApp quoteOn the ground, the Entrepreneur Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable UAE residence visa for business 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 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. Serbians are a fast-growing community in IT, construction, hospitality and sports, so the Entrepreneur Golden Visa authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Serbian applications every day and process them without hesitation. The most common businesses Serbians open through GoldenKey are in IT and software, construction, agriculture exports and hospitality, although Entrepreneur Golden Visa supports almost any activity.
