Visa & residency

Live and work in the UAE.

Residency visas for founders and teams, with the medical test, Emirates ID and insurance arranged step by step.

The visa journey

Six steps from licence to Emirates ID.

Your advisor books each appointment and tells you exactly when you need to be in the UAE.

Processing times depend on government systems and your nationality. Your advisor confirms them for your case.
  1. Establishment card

    Your company is registered with immigration so it can sponsor visas. Included in Elite and Elite+.

  2. Entry permit

    An entry permit is issued so you can enter or change status inside the UAE.

  3. Status change or entry

    Already in the UAE? We change your status. Abroad? You enter on your permit.

  4. Medical test

    A short medical fitness test at an approved centre.

  5. Emirates ID biometrics

    Fingerprints and photo for your Emirates ID.

  6. Residency issued

    Your residency is issued digitally and your Emirates ID is delivered.
