WhatsApp quoteFrom day one, the Investor 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. Unlike a standard residency 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.
Why Investor Golden Visa
From day one, processing of the Investor Golden Visa is usually 2 to 4 weeks once papers are approved, and GoldenKey tracks each approval stage for you. Golden Visa holders receive an Emirates ID valid for the full 10-year term, which simplifies banking, leases and school enrolment. In short, eligibility for the Investor Golden Visa requires investment of at least AED 2 million in an accredited UAE investment fund.
