Golden Visa for investors
Investor Golden Visa
Investors who commit significant capital to the UAE can secure 10-year residency for themselves and their families. DocTrust checks your investment against the current criteria and prepares a strong application.
Quick answer
The Investor Golden Visa gives 10-year residency to people with a public investment of at least AED 2 million. This can be a deposit in an accredited UAE investment fund, a company with capital of at least AED 2 million, or partnership in companies paying a qualifying level of government tax each year. Evidence must come from the relevant UAE authorities.
Ways to qualify as an investor
- Deposit of at least AED 2 million in an accredited UAE investment fund
- Ownership of a UAE company with capital of at least AED 2 million
- Partnership in a company that pays significant annual tax to the UAE government
- Investments must be your own and not funded by loans, except where permitted

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.
Medical, Emirates ID & insurance
We book your medical test and Emirates ID biometrics, and arrange health insurance where required.
10-year residency issued
Your Golden Visa is issued and linked to your Emirates ID. We can then sponsor your family.
