Golden Visa UAE

UAE Golden Visa — 10-Year Residency for Investors & Entrepreneurs

Global Edge Corporate Services is an authorised UAE Golden Visa consultant based in Dubai. We help investors, entrepreneurs, property owners, and skilled professionals
obtain their UAE Golden Visa — a long-term, renewable 10-year residency visa that gives you the freedom to live, work, and build your future in the UAE.

WHAT IS THE UAE GOLDEN VISA?

The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residency programme introduced by the UAE Government to attract and retain talented individuals, investors, and entrepreneurs.
Unlike a standard UAE residence visa which requires renewal every 2–3 years and depends on an employer or sponsor, the Golden Visa is self-sponsored and valid for 10 years with automatic renewal.

Golden Visa holders enjoy full stability and freedom in the UAE without needing a local sponsor or employer.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE UAE GOLDEN VISA?

Property Investors

Investors who own property worth AED 2 million or more in the UAE are eligible for the Golden Visa. The property can be mortgaged, and off-plan properties from approved developers also qualify.

Business Owners & Entrepreneurs

Business owners with a company valued at AED 2 million or more, or entrepreneurs with an approved project, qualify for the Golden Visa. Founders of startups registered with accredited UAE incubators also qualify.

Skilled Professionals

Doctors, engineers, scientists, artists, and other specialised talent holding a valid UAE employment contract with a minimum salary of AED 30,000 per month may qualify under the skilled professional category.

Outstanding Students

Students with a minimum GPA of 3.75 from UAE universities, or students admitted to top 100 world-ranked universities, are eligible for the Golden Visa.
