Golden Visa questions
Do I need to live in the UAE to keep a Golden Visa?
Unlike standard residence visas, the Golden Visa is not cancelled if you spend more than six months outside the UAE, which makes it attractive for internationally mobile investors and families.
Can I include my family?
Yes. Golden Visa holders can sponsor their spouse and children, and the visa duration for family members is generally linked to the main holder's. We handle the family applications alongside yours.
How long does the process take?
It depends on the category, the emirate and how quickly supporting documents can be obtained. Once your documents are complete, we will give you a realistic timeline for your case.
