Golden Visa Services in Dubai
Long-term 10-year UAE residency for investors, entrepreneurs, specialised talent and skilled professionals.
About this service
The UAE Golden Visa grants renewable long-term residency — typically five or ten years — without a local sponsor, with the freedom to live, work and study in the Emirates and to sponsor family members and domestic staff.
IDOS Business Services begins with an honest eligibility assessment against the current criteria for real estate investors, company owners, specialised talent, scientists, creatives and outstanding students. Where a category fits, we assemble the nomination file, secure the required approvals and follow the application through medical testing, Emirates ID and visa stamping.

No local sponsor needed

Six-month re-entry freedom

Frequently asked questions
Who is eligible for the UAE Golden Visa?
Property investors, public investors, entrepreneurs and company owners, specialised talent such as doctors, engineers and scientists, senior professionals meeting the salary threshold, creatives, and outstanding students and graduates.
How long is the Golden Visa valid?
Golden Visas are issued for five or ten years depending on the category, and are renewable as long as the qualifying condition is still met.
How much property investment is required?
The real estate route generally requires property with a value of AED 2 million or more; mortgaged properties may qualify subject to bank confirmation. We verify the current threshold before filing.
Can I sponsor my family on a Golden Visa?
Yes. Spouse, children and domestic workers can be sponsored for the same duration as the primary holder's residency.
Do I need a local sponsor or employer?
No. The Golden Visa is self-sponsored, which is one of its main advantages over a standard employment or investor residence visa.
How long does the Golden Visa process take?
Nomination approval usually takes two to four weeks once the file is complete; medical testing, Emirates ID and stamping then add roughly one to two weeks.
Will my Golden Visa be cancelled if I live abroad?
No. Unlike a standard residence visa, long-term residency is not cancelled for staying outside the UAE beyond six months.
Can I apply while outside the UAE?
Yes. Applications can be filed from abroad, with an entry permit issued for you to complete medical testing and biometrics on arrival.
