Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about UAE Golden Visa & Investor Visas

What is the UAE Golden Visa and who is eligible?

The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residency program introduced in 2019 and updated through 2026. It allows investors, entrepreneurs, skilled professionals, and their families to live, work, and study in the UAE for 5 or 10 years with automatic renewal. Eligibility includes real estate investors (AED 2M+), public fund investors, business owners, and tax-paying companies.

How long does the Golden Visa application process take?

With Vesta Solutions' fast-track service, the entire process typically takes 7-10 business days for real estate applications and 10-15 days for business setup routes. Our expert team handles all ICP submissions, document verification, and government coordination to ensure rapid approval.

Can I sponsor my entire family with the Golden Visa?

Yes! Golden Visa holders can sponsor their spouse, children of any age, and parents for the full 10-year duration. The standard property visa (AED 750K) allows sponsoring spouse and children (sons up to 25, unmarried daughters any age). We handle all family sponsorship procedures including medical tests, Emirates ID, and visa stamping.

Do off-plan properties qualify for the Golden Visa?

Yes, off-plan properties qualify for the Golden Visa provided they meet the AED 2 million threshold and at least 50% of the purchase price has been paid to an approved developer. You'll need a registered Oqood (sales agreement) and proof of payment. Vesta Solutions can guide you to pre-approved projects.

Do I need to live in the UAE full-time?

No! Golden Visa holders have no residency requirement and can stay outside the UAE for extended periods without losing their visa. The standard property visa requires visiting the UAE at least once every 6 months to maintain validity. This flexibility makes it ideal for international investors.

What are the tax benefits of UAE residency?

UAE residents enjoy zero personal income tax, zero capital gains tax, and zero inheritance tax. For businesses, the corporate tax rate is only 9% on profits exceeding AED 375,000. Free zones may offer additional tax exemptions. The UAE also has double taxation treaties with over 100 countries.

Can I upgrade from Standard Property Visa to Golden Visa?

Yes! The standard property visa (AED 750,000) can be upgraded to a Golden Visa when you increase your property investment to AED 2 million or more. This can be done by purchasing additional properties or upgrading to a higher-value property. Vesta Solutions handles the entire upgrade process.
