UAE Residence Visa

Investor, partner and employment residence visas for business owners and their teams. From entry permit to Emirates ID, we manage every step with immigration, medical and labour authorities.

About Residence Visas

Live and work in the UAE on your own company's sponsorship

Once your company is licensed, it can sponsor residence visas for you as an investor or partner and for the staff you hire. A residence visa is what allows you to live in the UAE, open personal bank accounts, rent property, obtain a driving licence and sponsor your family. The process moves through several departments: an establishment card and immigration file for the company, an entry permit for the applicant, a medical fitness test, biometrics for Emirates ID, and finally the visa stamp. Each stage has its own documents and timing, and a mistake at one stage delays the next. We coordinate the full sequence for mainland and free zone companies, keep you informed at every step, and manage renewals so your status never lapses.

What's Included

End-to-end residence visa processing

Investor & Partner Visa

Residence visa issued under your own company, valid for two years and renewable. Available to shareholders of mainland and free zone companies and the foundation for sponsoring your family.

Employment Visa

Work permits and residence visas for employees, including labour contract registration with MOHRE for mainland companies or the free zone authority, and quota management as your team grows.

Company Immigration File

Establishment card and immigration file registration that every company needs before it can sponsor its first visa. We set this up alongside your license.

Entry Permit & Status Change

Issuance of the entry permit and, for applicants already in the UAE, in-country status change so you do not need to exit and re-enter.

Medical, Biometrics & Emirates ID

Booking and accompanying you to the medical fitness test and Emirates ID biometrics, then tracking the ID card through to delivery.

Renewals & Cancellations

Renewal tracking before expiry, and clean cancellation when an employee leaves or you close the company, so no fines or bans are triggered.
