WhatsApp quoteJust as important, 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. GoldenKey has Malaysian clients from Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor Bahru, and our consultants understand the paperwork issued in Malaysia and how to attest them for the UAE. Crucially, the most common businesses Malaysians open through GoldenKey are in Islamic finance, halal food, oil and gas services and education, although Investor Golden Visa supports almost any activity.
Why Investor Golden Visa
Benefits of the Investor Golden Visa include 10-year renewable residency, no local sponsor required and sponsor spouse, children of any age and parents. Eligibility for the Investor Golden Visa requires investment of at least AED 2 million in an accredited UAE investment fund. Just as important, many Malaysian founders run Investor Golden Visa companies alongside an existing business in Malaysia, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
