Crucially, if you qualify for the Entrepreneur Golden Visa, you can sponsor your spouse, children of any age and parents, and employ unlimited domestic workers. 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. As we tell every client, singapore and Dubai are frequently paired as twin hubs, and many groups run an Asian and Middle Eastern entity side by side, which gives Singaporean entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Entrepreneur Golden Visa licence is issued. For most clients, payments between Singapore and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Singapore dollar (SGD) transfers settle without delay and UAE banks are familiar with Singaporean business profiles.
Why Entrepreneur Golden Visa
Benefits of the Entrepreneur Golden Visa include 10-year residency for the founder, sponsor co-entrepreneurs, spouse and children and flexible residency without a sponsor company. Golden Visa holders receive an Emirates ID valid for the full 10-year term, which simplifies banking, leases and school enrolment. For Singaporeans, the practical advantages of Entrepreneur Golden Visa are the ease of travel between Singapore and the UAE, English is the business language in both countries, and a banking system that processes Singapore dollar (SGD) transfers daily.
