  • The relevant authority’s approval, nomination or project-value evidence
  • Category-specific turnover, exit-value or project conditions where relevant
  • Supporting company records and immigration documents
Important considerations

Before you proceed

  • AED 1 million annual revenue, AED 7 million business exits and AED 500,000 project-value documentation refer to different tests and must not be conflated.
