Entrepreneur Golden Visa for Slovenians

10-year UAE residency · around 6 hours via Vienna or Istanbul from Ljubljana

Day to day, 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. The Entrepreneur Golden Visa has become one of the most sought-after residency options in the world, and the criteria are clear once you know which authority approves your category. Slovenian pharmaceutical and engineering exports reach the Gulf via Dubai, which gives Slovenian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Entrepreneur Golden Visa licence is issued. The most common businesses Slovenians open through GoldenKey are in pharmaceuticals, engineering, tourism and wood products, although Entrepreneur Golden Visa supports almost any activity.

Why Entrepreneur Golden Visa

On the ground, the Entrepreneur Golden Visa is granted by the federal ICP or by GDRFA Dubai, and the supporting approval depends on your category. 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. For most clients, many Slovenian founders run Entrepreneur Golden Visa companies alongside an existing business in Slovenia, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
