WhatsApp quoteAs a rule, 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. If you qualify for the Investor Golden Visa, you can sponsor your spouse, children of any age and parents, and employ unlimited domestic workers. Norwegian maritime and energy suppliers have long served the UAE's offshore and shipping sectors, which gives Norwegian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Investor Golden Visa licence is issued. Day to day, the most common businesses Norwegians open through GoldenKey are in oil and gas services, maritime, seafood exports and renewable energy, although Investor Golden Visa supports almost any activity.
Why Investor Golden Visa
Crucially, eligibility for the Investor Golden Visa requires investment of at least AED 2 million in an accredited UAE investment fund. To be clear, processing of the Investor Golden Visa is typically 2 to 4 weeks once documents are approved, and GoldenKey tracks each approval stage for you. Just as important, many Norwegian founders run Investor Golden Visa companies alongside an existing business in Norway, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
