Why Choose the UAE Golden Visa?
- Long‑term residence: Issued for 5 or 10 years and renewable, with no requirement for a UAE sponsor
- Freedom & flexibility: Live, work, study or open a business in the UAE with full ownership rights. Exit and re‐enter the UAE freely—even if you stay abroad for extended periods
- Family included: Sponsor your spouse, children—and potentially parents—for the same validity period, subject to health and background checks
- Tax advantages: Benefit from no personal income tax, no inheritance tax, and no capital gains tax in the UAE
