Entrepreneur Golden Visa for Turkish nationals

10-year UAE residency · around 4.5 hours from Istanbul from Ankara

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. Put simply, turkish construction groups, food brands and textile exporters are major players in the UAE market, which gives Turkish entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Entrepreneur Golden Visa licence is issued. Turkish nationals are a growing community of traders, contractors and restaurateurs, especially in Dubai, so the Entrepreneur Golden Visa authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Turkish applications every day and process them without hesitation.
