As a rule, 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. 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. The most common businesses Indians open through GoldenKey are in trading, IT and software, retail and construction, although Investor Golden Visa supports almost any activity. GoldenKey has Indian clients from Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, and our consultants understand the paperwork granted in India and how to attest them for the UAE.
Why Investor Golden Visa
Crucially, processing of the Investor Golden Visa is typically 2 to 4 weeks once papers are approved, and GoldenKey tracks each approval stage for you. 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, many Indian business owners run Investor Golden Visa companies alongside an existing business in India, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
