WhatsApp quoteGoldenKey processes the Investor Golden Visa from eligibility check to passport stamping, including the approval letters that most applicants find hardest to obtain. 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. As we tell every client, romanian IT talent and construction firms are well represented in Dubai, which gives Romanian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Investor Golden Visa licence is issued. Put simply, payments between Romania and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Romanian leu (RON) transfers settle without delay and UAE banks are familiar with Romanian business profiles.
Why Investor Golden Visa
Importantly, the Investor Golden Visa is issued by the federal ICP or by GDRFA Dubai, and the supporting approval depends on your category. Eligibility for the Investor Golden Visa requires investment of at least AED 2 million in an accredited UAE investment fund. Put simply, many Romanian founders run Investor Golden Visa companies alongside an existing business in Romania, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
