A country that promotes foreign investment, UAE allows foreign nationals to reside in the Emirates and invest in the economy of the country. However, investment options are available only for residents who obtain investors’ visas. Foreign investment plays a significant role in the growth of the UAE economy. Foreign nationals holding this visa can invest their money to establish or expand their businesses in Dubai. Apart from gaining eligibility to invest, this visa also permits the holders to reside in the country with the rights to live legally, work and study in the UAE. The validity of the visa may be up to 10 years based on the amount invested by the visa holder.
Investors of different categories are eligible for this visa. Investments made in the real estate industry, other business ventures, or public investments in Dubai will be eligible for Investors Visa. Investors from any foreign country are eligible to apply for the visa. Let us examine in detail:
Real Estate Investors are those who purchase property worth at least AED 1 million in Dubai or other parts of the UAE.
Business Investors are those who invest in a new business or invest in an existing business within the UAE. Their investment amount may vary.
Public Sector Investors who invest in government bonds or other public investment vehicles are also eligible for investor visas.
Each category has specific requirements and only those who meet the requirements such as minimum investment amounts and proof of ownership will be eligible for the visa. Financial contribution by the applicant will also be considered for the issuance of an investor visa. Additionally, the UAE issues visas to the immediate family members of the investor to help them reside with their spouse and children.
As an investor visa is issued to different categories of investors, it is essential to identify your category and the minimum investment requirement for that category.
Collect all necessary documents including passport copy, photographs, proof of investment, medical insurance and good conduct certificate.
Submit your investment documents to the Dubai Land Department (for real estate) or the Department of Economic Development (for business investments) to get initial approval.
Applicants from outside the UAE need to get an entry permit first and go for a residency visa before going for an investor visa.
Mandatory medical examination will screen your health conditions to avoid communicable diseases.
Approach the Emirates Identity Authority and obtain an Emirates ID with biometric information.
On submission of documents, such as a medical fitness certificate and Emirates ID application, the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) will issue final approval. Then the visa will be stamped in your passport.
