Overview

The UAE remains the most practical route from company ownership to personal residence. An investor or employment visa issued through your own Free Zone company gives renewable residency, an Emirates ID and access to local banking; the Golden Visa route runs through real estate or other qualifying holdings for a longer ten-year term.
