Launch & Live in Dubai: Apply for the 2-Year Investor Visa With Us

Dubai investor visa via AED 12,500-25,500 company setup: 6-8 weeks processing, renewable, 98% approval rate. Transform your business ambitions into a UAE residency reality. Our proven process has helped hundreds of international investors establish successful businesses while securing long-term residency for themselves and their families.

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
