Every route to living in the UAE, in one place — from the 10-year Golden Visa to investor, partner, Green and family visas. Choose by how long you want, who sponsors you, and what you do.
Self-sponsored, company-sponsored or family — pick the residency that fits your situation.

Long-term, self-sponsored residency for investors, entrepreneurs and skilled talent — no sponsor, no six-month rule.

Self-sponsored 5-year residency for skilled professionals, freelancers and investors — independent of any employer.

Residency through your own UAE company — the standard, fast route for founders setting up a business.

Residency for each qualifying shareholder in a multi-owner UAE company, sponsored by the business.

Sponsor your spouse, children and parents onto your UAE residency once you hold a valid visa.

Renew before your visa expires, or cancel it cleanly when you change status or leave — without fines or surprises.
