WhatsApp quoteCrucially, unlike a standard residence visa, the Investor 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. GoldenKey processes the Investor Golden Visa from eligibility check to passport stamping, including the approval letters that most applicants find hardest to obtain. Croatians are a small community in hospitality, yachting, IT and sports, so the Investor Golden Visa authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Croatian applications every day and process them without hesitation. Just as important, croatian hospitality and nautical expertise is increasingly present in the UAE, which gives Croatian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Investor Golden Visa licence is issued.
Why Investor Golden Visa
The Investor Golden Visa is released by the federal ICP or by GDRFA Dubai, and the supporting approval depends on your category. Benefits of the Investor Golden Visa include 10-year renewable residency, no local sponsor required and sponsor spouse, children of any age and parents. Put simply, for Croatians, the practical advantages of Investor Golden Visa are the ease of travel between Croatia and the UAE, English is the business language, and a banking system that processes euro (EUR) transfers daily.
