WhatsApp quoteOn the ground, the Investor Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable UAE 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 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. Russians are a fast-growing community that has expanded sharply since 2022, with strong presence in Dubai Marina, JLT and Business Bay, so the Investor Golden Visa authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Russian applications every day and process them without hesitation. GoldenKey has Russian clients from Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Kazan, and our consultants understand the paperwork issued in Russia and how to attest them for the UAE.
