WhatsApp quoteUnlike 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, 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. Swedes are a technology-focused community with Swedish telecom, fintech and design firms in Dubai, so the Entrepreneur Golden Visa authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Swedish applications every day and process them without hesitation. The most common businesses Swedes open through GoldenKey are in technology, telecom, design and sustainability, although Entrepreneur Golden Visa supports almost any activity.
