Golden visa as a company owner
Can I get a golden visa through my own UAE company?
The situation
Investors and entrepreneurs can qualify through business routes. Reported 2026 tests include an AED 2 million investment route and an entrepreneur route for SME founders with about AED 1 million in annual revenue or an authority endorsement.
The law
- Golden residence rules: Business ownership routes with capital or revenue tests
What it means for you
Evidence is what decides it: licence, memorandum showing your share, audited accounts and sometimes an endorsement from a competent authority. Example: a founder of a Dubai LLC with AED 1.2 million audited revenue may fit the entrepreneur route; a new company with no accounts usually does not yet. Check the current thresholds before applying.
What to do
- Confirm your share and the company's audited revenue or capital.
- Ask whether an endorsement letter is needed.
- Prepare attested documents.
- Apply on ICP or GDRFA.
