UAE Golden Visas are Safe and Secure Way for Long-Term Residents of the UAE

UAE Golden Visa program was created as a way for talented individuals to come into the UAE. This long-term visa provides approved applicants with residency for five (5) or ten (10) years for individuals who qualify, and there is no requirement for a sponsor to apply for the visa. The UAE Golden Visa program allows qualified individuals, such as investors, specialized talent, and real estate owners, to have access to long-term security and freedom while living in the UAE.

Filings.ae has made the process of applying for the UAE Golden Visas simple and convenient by outlining the requirements for applying, and the process for applying.

Why do you want to apply for a Golden Visa?

There are many exclusive benefits that accompany the Abu Dhabi or Dubai Golden Visa beyond just residing in those cities.

• Self-Sponsorship: You do not need an employer or a UAE national to sponsor your visa. You are your own sponsor.
• Stay Outside UAE: Unlike standard visas, you can stay outside the UAE for more than 6 months without your visa becoming invalid.
• Family Sponsorship: You can sponsor your spouse and children (of any age) so your family stays together.
• Domestic Helpers: Sponsor an unlimited number of domestic helpers to support your household.

Who is Eligible? (Categories)

The eligibility criteria have been expanded recently to include more categories. Here is a breakdown of who can apply:

1. Real Estate Investors

Individuals who own a property in the UAE worth at least AED 2 million. This includes properties that are mortgaged (with specific conditions) and off-plan properties from approved local real estate developers.

The Application Process

Navigating government approvals can be tricky. Filings.ae streamlines it into simple steps:

1. Eligibility Check: We review your documents (Title Deed, Salary Certificate, or Trade License) to confirm you qualify.
2. Nomination Request: We submit your profile to the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) or GDRFA for nomination.
3. Visa Issuance: Once nominated, we proceed with the medical test and Emirates ID application.
4. Stamping: Your 10-year residency is stamped on your passport (or issued digitally).
