Yes! Property purchases of AED 750,000+ qualify for a 2-year renewable residence visa. Properties valued at AED 2 million+ qualify for the 10-year Golden Visa for you and your family. The property must be completed (not off-plan for standard visa) and registered with Dubai Land Department. We handle all visa processing as part of your property purchase.
Free Zone companies offer 100% foreign ownership, no corporate tax (in most zones), and easy setup but cannot trade directly in UAE market without distributor. Mainland companies can trade freely throughout UAE, bid for government contracts, and establish anywhere but may require local service agent (51% ownership no longer required in most sectors). We assess your business model to recommend the best structure.
Property-based residence visas typically take 2-4 weeks from document submission to visa stamping. Business setup with investor visa takes 3-6 weeks depending on company type and approvals required. Golden Visa applications take 4-8 weeks. Family sponsorship for existing residents takes 2-3 weeks. Timelines can be expedited with VIP services.
Yes, once you have UAE residency you can sponsor your spouse, children (under 18, or up to 25 if studying), and parents (subject to income requirements). Minimum salary requirements apply—typically AED 4,000-10,000 monthly depending on family size and accommodation type. Property owners can sponsor without salary requirements. We handle all family sponsorship procedures.
Business setup costs vary by license type and location. Free Zone packages typically cost AED 15,000-50,000 annually including license, office space, and visa quotas. Mainland companies cost AED 25,000-100,000+ depending on activity, office requirements, and visa needs. Additional costs include visa processing (AED 3,000-5,000 per person), Emirates ID (AED 1,000), and bank account setup (AED 5,000-10,000).
Yes, we assist with both personal and corporate bank account opening at major UAE banks. Our relationships with banks expedite the process and improve approval rates.
