← Back to United Arab Emirates

Company owners and entrepreneurs can explore ordinary investor residence, five-year Green Residence or category-specific Golden Residence. The appropriate route depends on the licensed activity, company structure and individual eligibility.

Eligibility

What to review

  • A qualifying business activity and appropriate mainland or free-zone trade licence
  • Documented ownership, partnership or management role
  • The applicable residence category’s own corporate and financial criteria
  • Required establishment, immigration and identity procedures
Important considerations

Before you proceed

  • Company registration alone does not guarantee residence or Golden Residence.
  • Green Residence and Golden Residence are separate programmes with different criteria.
  • Business and tax obligations depend on the activity and jurisdiction.
