Investor Visa
An investor or partner residence route can connect a business owner’s UAE residency to the company, subject to the legal structure and current immigration requirements.
Company first
Confirm that the ownership structure and licence support the intended residence path before incorporation. Company immigration or establishment records may be needed before an individual application can proceed.
Usual stages
Depending on the applicant’s status and the current process, the route can involve entry or status formalities, medical fitness testing, Emirates ID biometrics or renewal requirements and residence processing.
Family planning
Spouse and child applications have their own documents and conditions. Prepare attested civil-status documents in advance when family relocation is part of the plan.
Banking
Corporate banks still make a separate due-diligence decision based on the company, owners and expected activity.
