The UAE Golden Visa gives you 10-year UAE residency without needing a UAE employer or a sponsor. For African investors and entrepreneurs who want a long-term UAE base, it is the cleanest residency solution available.
The golden visa covers several categories: real estate investors (property valued at AED 2 million or more), business investors (AED 2 million or more invested in a UAE business), approved entrepreneurs, and skilled professionals in priority fields.
For most DBC clients, the real estate investor pathway is the most common route. If you own a UAE property valued at AED 2 million or more either outright or on a mortgage you likely qualify.
DBC manages the full golden visa application from USD 2,040 (real estate investor category) or USD 2,450 (business investor category). All fees include medical examination coordination and Emirates ID. Dependent visas are USD 680 each.

Q: How long does it take? A: 4 to 6 weeks from document submission.
