Golden Visa for Business Owners

Golden Visa for Business Owners in Ras Al Khaimah

A RAK company can be part of an applicant’s wider profile, but the Golden Visa must still fit a recognised eligibility category and current evidence requirements.

Identify the route

Business ownership can connect to different qualifying categories.

Depending on the applicant, the relevant route might be investor, entrepreneur, executive, professional or another category. The evidence differs, so start with the correct legal basis.

Evidence

Prepare more than the trade licence.

Ownership records, financial or investment evidence, company records, qualifications, experience, salary or other category-specific documents may be required depending on the route.

Existing residence

Plan the transition from the current visa carefully.

Applicants already holding investor, employment or dependent residence should understand how the new long-term status affects existing visas and sponsored family members.

Company obligations

The Golden Visa does not replace company compliance.

Licence renewals, Corporate Tax, VAT, employment records and banking obligations continue separately.

Last reviewed: September 2026 General information only. Requirements, fees, processing routes and eligibility can change; verify the current position with the relevant authority or service provider.
