Secure 5- or 10-year UAE residency for yourself, your family and your talent. Avyanco assesses your eligibility across the Golden Visa categories, builds the application and manages it through ICP and GDRFA to issuance.
The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term, renewable residency issued for 5 or 10 years depending on category, processed through the ICP (Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security) and GDRFA. It frees holders from the employer-tied visa cycle and lets eligible investors, founders, professionals and their families sponsor dependents.
The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term, renewable residency — issued for 5 or 10 years depending on category — that frees holders from the traditional employer-tied visa cycle. It is processed through the ICP (the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security) and GDRFA, and lets eligible investors, founders, professionals and their families put down long-term roots in the UAE, sponsor dependents, and in many cases stay without the usual constraints on time outside the country.
Eligibility spans several broad categories: investors (through public investment or qualifying real estate), entrepreneurs (founders of qualifying startups/SMEs or holders of registered IP), specialized talents (scientists, doctors, engineers, IT specialists, creatives, executives, athletes and inventors recognised in their field), and outstanding students and graduates. The specific financial thresholds and qualifying criteria are set by the ICP and updated from time to time, so the right route depends on your profile at the time of applying. Avyanco assesses which category fits, assembles the evidence and runs the application end-to-end.
