UAE Residence Visa

WHAT IS A UAE RESIDENCE VISA?

The UAE residence visa is a permit that enables foreign individuals to live in this country for extended periods. The visa, which can be valid for two, three, five or even ten years, is renewable as frequently as required. Numerous international families have established roots in the Emirates for generations, continually renewing their visas to maintain their residency.

In essence, UAE permanent residency involves having a valid visa stamp in your passport while residing continuously in the country. While the concept of “permanent residency” as known in some countries doesn’t exactly exist here, holding a residence visa essentially confers the same benefit.

HOW TO GET THE UAE RESIDENCY?

There are multiple ways to obtain the UAE residency:

GETTING THE UAE RESIDENCY BY OPENING A COMPANY

Opening a business is one of the fastest ways of getting a visa. You can set up a company either in a free zone or in the Mainland.

Business setup in UAE free zones is one of the most preferred options due to 100% ownership, affordable fees, and transparent process.

To apply for a visa, it is necessary to register a company in your name with one of the UAE’s business registration authorities. There are over 40 such authorities, and you may either search for a suitable registering body yourself or engage the services of business setup consultants in Dubai.

If you’re acquiring a visa as a business owner, you’ll follow these steps:

Typically, you can stay in your home country during the company incorporation, establishment card, and entry visa-issuing stages, provided that you have visited the UAE at least once in the past.

Your personal presence is required for the medical check, Emirates ID application, and visa stamping. Your passport will be taken to the immigration office for stamping, and you will not be able to leave the UAE until the process is completed. Overall, including Medicals and ID, visa stamping takes about five working days.
