UAE Golden Visa
A long-term residence pathway for investors, entrepreneurs and exceptional people. Understand the category that may fit your profile before preparing your application.
A residence pathway built around your profile
Golden Residence is not a single application for everyone. The evidence, recommendations and approvals depend on your category and the competent authority. Meeting an initial criterion does not guarantee approval.
SANADKO supports profile review, document preparation and application coordination. Eligibility and issuance remain the decision of the competent authority. No guaranteed approval, fixed processing time or unverified fee is quoted.
Check which Golden Visa categories may suit you
Describe your situation in your own words. An AI assistant compares it with the official category criteria listed on this page and suggests what to review. This is guidance only — the issuing authority makes every eligibility decision.
Who may qualify?
Explore the recognised categories and the evidence that can support an application. Federal and Dubai requirements can differ; confirm the applicable route before submitting.
Investment-based routes include qualifying public investments, company investment, financial deposits and a separate tax-contribution route. Simply owning a trade licence is not enough.
What supports this category
- Proof of the qualifying investment or financial deposit
- Company financial reports, licence, partner records or the relevant tax-authority letter, depending on the route
Prepare evidence, not assumptions
Start with your identity and the documents supporting your proposed category. Further evidence, attestations, nominations or approvals may be requested by the authority.
- Passport and current residence details, where applicable
- Category-specific evidence: ownership, investment, qualifications or achievements
- Employment, salary or business records where relevant
- Required recommendations, nominations and supporting approvals
