Residency

UAE Golden Visa Assistance

Guidance and coordination support for individuals exploring long-term UAE residency options, including the Golden Visa programme.

Overview

What this service covers

The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residency programme administered by the UAE federal and local immigration authorities. It is available to certain categories of investors, entrepreneurs, professionals, and other qualifying individuals, subject to eligibility criteria set by the government.

ElevateBiz360 assists individuals in understanding the general eligibility categories, organising the required documentation, and coordinating the application process. Every case is reviewed individually, and eligibility depends on the applicant's specific circumstances.

As immigration policy and criteria can be updated by the relevant authorities, we recommend a tailored eligibility review before proceeding with an application.
