About the Investor Visa (2-Year / 3-Year Route)

The Dubai investor visa provides legal residency to sole proprietorship owners who establish new businesses in the UAE. This investor visa in Dubai grants a 2-year renewable residency status without requiring the substantial AED 2 million investment needed for Golden Visa eligibility. By establishing a sole proprietorship company with minimum capital requirements of AED 12,500-25,500, foreign entrepreneurs can secure legitimate residency while building their business presence in one of the world's most dynamic economies.

This business investor visa UAE route differs significantly from the Golden Visa program, focusing on active business ownership rather than passive investment. The visa allows holders to live, work, and manage their UAE business operations while enjoying comprehensive residency benefits and family sponsorship opportunities.

Important Distinction: Investor Visa vs. Partner Visa

While both visas offer similar residency benefits and family sponsorship rights, the business structure and investment approach differ significantly. This page focuses exclusively on the Investor Visa for sole proprietorship establishments.

Many people confuse these two visa types, but they serve different business structures:

  • Issued specifically for sole proprietorships where you are the single business owner
  • Requires establishing a new company under your individual ownership
  • Ideal for entrepreneurs wanting complete business control
  • Processing through company incorporation route
  • Issued for businesses with multiple shareholders (LLC, partnerships)
  • Requires a minimum 25% shareholding in an existing or new company
  • Suitable for joint ventures and shared business ownership
  • Based on partnership agreements and shared investment

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Foreign nationals who establish sole proprietorship companies in the UAE through new business incorporation qualify.

  • Complete processing typically takes 6-8 weeks from initial consultation through final visa stamping, assuming all required documents are provided promptly and meet UAE government standards.

  • Business transfers are possible but will affect your investor visa validity since the visa is tied to your sole proprietorship ownership. We recommend consulting our team before any ownership changes to explore alternative residency options and ensure proper transition.

  • No minimum stay requirement exists, but regular visits help maintain business operations and prepare for renewing the investor visa in Dubai. Extended absences may complicate renewal applications.
