The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term, self-sponsored residence visa, typically valid for 10 years (5 years for some categories), that you can renew. It lets you live, work and do business in the UAE without an employer sponsor and sponsor your family. Set Hub checks your eligibility, prepares your documents and manages the application through to your Emirates ID.

Frequently asked questions
Can I set up a company and get a Golden Visa as an entrepreneur?
Yes, if your business meets the entrepreneur criteria. We can combine your company setup and Golden Visa application.
