Immigration

UAE immigration — calm, considered, low-risk

We help you choose the right route to residency — Golden Visa, investor visa, family visas or the digital-nomad visa — and guide the process from the first assessment to the card in your hand. One person stays with you from start to finish, and tells you plainly when a route is not right for you.

Golden Visa: routes and who qualifies

The Golden Visa is issued for 5 or 10 years and is renewable. The clearest route for families is real estate: a property purchase from AED 2,000,000 qualifies for the 10-year visa, and mortgaged and off-plan properties can qualify too. An investment from AED 750,000 opens a 2-year investor visa.

A second route is for skilled professionals: since October 2025 the minimum basic salary is AED 30,000 per month (allowances are excluded). There are also expanded eligibility categories — content creators, educators, nurses and others. A key advantage of the Golden Visa: there is no annual-stay requirement, so you do not lose it because of time spent abroad.

  • Real estate from AED 2M — 10-year visa (mortgaged and off-plan can qualify)
  • Real estate from AED 750,000 — 2-year investor visa
  • Professionals: basic salary from AED 30,000/mo (since October 2025)
  • Comprehensive health insurance required
  • No annual-stay requirement in the UAE

The digital-nomad (Virtual Work) visa

The digital-nomad visa suits those who work remotely for a company or clients outside the UAE. It is issued for 1 year and is renewable. Remote employees need an income from USD 3,500 per month; business owners need from USD 5,000 per month. UAE health insurance is required.

Since 27 January 2026, applications require 6 consecutive months of bank statements (previously 3 months were enough). This visa lets you sponsor your family, so it is often a first step for families who want to live in Dubai without moving their work here.

  • 1 year, renewable
  • Remote employees: income from USD 3,500/mo
  • Business owners: income from USD 5,000/mo
  • 6 consecutive months of bank statements (since 27 Jan 2026)
  • Can sponsor family; UAE health insurance required

Family visas and how we accompany the process

Once you hold a residency visa, you can sponsor visas for a spouse, children and, in some cases, parents. Every family means its own set of documents, translations, medical checks and deadlines, and this is where time and nerves are usually lost. We shape the process so you see a clear sequence of steps rather than a scatter of requirements.

You work with one person — a single point of contact for the whole journey. We begin with an honest assessment: which route genuinely fits you, and which is better not to start. From there it is a vetted process with trusted partners, with no promises of a "guaranteed" outcome where the decision rests with government authorities.

  • One person owns the whole process — your single point of contact
  • Honest assessment over promises; a vetted process with trusted partners
