UAE Golden Visa

A smarter, more secure residency solution for people who are building a life in the UAE

If you're serious about making the UAE your home, base, or hub — the Golden Visa offers exactly what you need: control, flexibility, and long-term security.

Unlike standard visas tied to employers or short-term property rentals, the Golden Visa is a 10-year residency permit designed for investors, entrepreneurs, senior professionals, and exceptional talent. It’s built for individuals and families with a real stake in the region.

At Kingsbury & Partners, we connect our clients with a select group of trusted immigration and legal partners who handle the Golden Visa process from start to finish. Our role is to ensure you’re guided by professionals who are credible, responsive, and aligned with your broader goals.

What the UAE Golden Visa offers:

• Long-term peace of mind: Live, work, and remain in the UAE with a 10-year visa that renews automatically — no local sponsor required.
• Freedom to travel: Unlike other residency types, you can spend more than 6 months outside the UAE without losing your status — ideal for global professionals.
• Family covered: You can sponsor your spouse, children (of any age), and domestic staff. In most cases, your family’s visa remains valid even in the event of your passing.
• Business ownership with 100% control: Set up or restructure your business under the Golden Visa. No local partner needed. No trade licence dependency.
• Zero income tax: Residency in the UAE means access to one of the world’s most favourable tax environments — with no income tax, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax.

Who qualifies?

There’s no one-size-fits-all route. That’s why we assess every client’s profile before making an introduction. Some of the most common eligibility categories include:

Property Investors: Own real estate in the UAE valued at AED 2 million+ (with or without financing).

Entrepreneurs: Own a business with paid-up capital or revenue over AED 500,000 — particularly in sectors like tech, consultancy, or services.

Professionals & Executives: Salaried professionals in regulated fields (medicine, law, engineering, finance, education) earning AED 30,000+ per month.

Scientists, Researchers, and Creatives: Recognised individuals with endorsement from an official UAE body (Ministry of Culture, Council of Scientists, etc).

Exceptional Students & Graduates: High-performing students from UAE or top-ranked international institutions.

Retirees: Over 55? You may qualify through pension income or personal savings above AED 1 million.

Why our clients choose the Golden Visa — and why they choose us

For many of our clients, the Golden Visa isn’t about immigration. It’s about alignment for the long-term.

You’ve invested in the region. You’ve educated your children here. You’ve relocated your team, launched a business, or acquired property. This is your base. And the Golden Visa turns that intention into a permanent structure — giving you the ability to plan, grow, and live without short-term administrative disruption. But navigating the process through the wrong channels can be costly in every sense.

That’s where we step in.

We don’t offer the visa directly. Instead, we act as a strategic adviser, helping you avoid the noise, prepare your affairs, and work only with qualified, credible professionals we trust — and who work to your agenda, not theirs.

What to expect working with Kingsbury & Partners:

• An honest assessment of which visa route may apply to you
• Professional introductions to trusted immigration and legal partners
• Strategic coordination with your wider affairs (property, corporate structure, tax residency)
• A single point of contact throughout
