Golden Visa for professionals
Executive & Skilled Professional Golden Visa
Senior professionals working in the UAE can qualify for a 10-year Golden Visa based on their role, education and salary. DocTrust checks your eligibility and manages the application alongside your employer.
Quick answer
Skilled professionals and executives can get a 10-year Golden Visa if they have a valid UAE employment contract, an occupation in MOHRE skill level 1 or 2, a bachelor's degree or equivalent, and a monthly salary of at least AED 30,000. Degrees must be attested. The visa is self-sponsored, so it is not cancelled if you change jobs, provided you still meet the criteria at renewal.
Documents professionals typically need
- Valid employment contract and salary certificate
- Attested bachelor's degree (or higher)
- Proof of occupation classification
- Bank statements showing salary (where requested)
- Passport, visa and Emirates ID copies

We submit through ICP or GDRFA (Dubai), or through the relevant nominating body for talent categories.
Entry permit or status change
Once approved, the entry permit is issued, or your status is changed if you are already in the UAE.

We book your medical test and Emirates ID biometrics, and arrange health insurance where required.
