Three years ago, in 2019, a new UAE Golden Visa system created quite a buzz among people with plans of getting super durable residency in the United Arab Emirates. This golden visa system allows foreigners to live, work, study, and create a business setup in UAE without any national sponsor. These visas are issued over 5 or 10 years and automatically renewed. They guarantee 100 percent ownership to the foreigners that are interested in setting up a business in UAE.
What Exactly Does the Golden Visa Entail?
The Golden Visa system provides long-term residency (5 and 10 years) to individuals who fall into the following categories: entrepreneurs, investors, individuals with exceptional talents such as researchers, health professionals, and others in the scientific and knowledge fields, and exceptional students. Global-Link is a PRO company in Dubai, and we can provide you complete assistance in getting a Golden Visa.
As a legitimate resident of UAE, you will be eligible for the following benefits:
- Open a personal current and savings account at any bank in UAE.
- Access monetary facilities.
- Get a driver’s license and purchase a vehicle.
- Access healthcare facilities and insurance services.
