UAE residency & visas
Plan Your Residency.
Bring Your Family.
Build Your Team.
Investor, partner, employee and family residency, planned alongside your company structure and managed through to Emirates ID.
Residency starts with structure
Your visa plan starts
with your licence.
A licence's visa allowance depends on its type and your office. Families often find after incorporation that their company supports fewer visas than they need. Planning residency into the structure from the start avoids that.

UAE residency,
answered.
Can I get a residence visa through my own company?
Yes. Shareholders can usually obtain an investor or partner visa, subject to licence and immigration requirements.
Can my family come before my visa is issued?
Dependants are usually sponsored after the main residence visa. We plan the timing around that.
Do you guarantee visa approval?
No. Immigration authorities decide. We prepare complete, accurate applications and keep you informed.
