Investor / Partner Residence

Residence through a qualifying UAE business interest

← Back to United Arab Emirates

Investors and business partners may seek UAE residence on the basis of a genuine licensed commercial interest, with longer-term Green or Golden categories available only where their separate criteria are met.

Eligibility

What to review

  • A qualifying licensed UAE company and documented investment or shareholding
  • Relevant trade licence, corporate agreements and ownership evidence
  • Applicable entry, residence, medical and identity requirements
  • Additional investment thresholds if seeking a Green or Golden category
Important considerations

Before you proceed

  • A nominal shareholding does not automatically confer residence.
  • Investor / partner residence is distinct from the AED 2 million public-investment Golden Residence category.
  • Maintain the qualifying company and comply with its corporate obligations.
