For most clients, the Investor Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable UAE residence visa for investors who place AED 2 million or more in a UAE investment fund, a company or a deposit approved by the authorities. 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 Netherlands is a major European gateway for UAE re-exports, and Dutch logistics expertise is in demand across Jebel Ali and Khalifa Port, which gives Dutch entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Investor Golden Visa licence is issued. Dutch nationals are an active community in logistics, water, agriculture technology and trading, so the Investor Golden Visa authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Dutch applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why Investor Golden Visa
Importantly, benefits of the Investor Golden Visa include 10-year renewable residency, no local sponsor required and sponsor spouse, children of any age and parents. Day to day, eligibility for the Investor Golden Visa requires investment of at least AED 2 million in an accredited UAE investment fund. Put simply, dutch applicants benefit from the fact that Investor Golden Visa already has many Dutch shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Netherlands paperwork and name formats instantly.
