Dubai Golden Visa application

The Dubai Golden Visa application process allows investors, entrepreneurs, professionals, and exceptional talents to secure long-term residency in the UAE. The Golden Visa is typically valid for 5 or 10 years, offering stability for expatriates who want to live, work, and invest in Dubai without the need for a local sponsor.

Applications can be submitted through the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP), the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA), or dedicated smart apps. Applicants must meet specific criteria depending on the category, such as investment thresholds, business ownership, or professional expertise.

The Golden Visa has become a cornerstone of Dubai’s strategy to attract global talent and investment. By offering long-term security, it encourages skilled individuals and entrepreneurs to contribute to Dubai’s economy and innovation ecosystem.
