UAE Partner & Investor Visa

Residence visa for business owners with the possibility of transitioning to a Golden Visa. The founder or partner visa is a standard residence visa issued on the basis of company registration in the UAE. It is suitable for both owners of local companies (Mainland) and businesses registered in free economic zones (Free Zone). This type of visa is available to anyone officially listed in the founding documents as an owner of a share in the company.
