ABOUT

A part of the UAE Golden Visa Programme is Business Visa. It lets foreign nationals apply for a long-term visa for themselves and their dependents. Anyone who has owned a business at some point in their career and wishes to do so again in the UAE qualifies as an eligible entrepreneur. 

Its goal is to create a business-friendly environment to help the UAE's economy grow.

Foreigners with a business visa can apply for a long-term visa for themselves and their dependents. 

What is UAE Golden Visa?

Global investors and world-class talent from around the world can apply for the UAE's Golden Visa in Abu Dhabi, which provides visas for up to ten years. Doctors, specialists, scientists, and inventors are examples of people and researchers in the areas of science and knowledge.
