Must know
Standard assessment takes 2 to 4 weeks where no further documents are requested.
Eligibility criteria differ markedly by category, and applications that don't meet them go nowhere. That's why we run a profile assessment before applying.
Who can apply
- Investors
- Researchers with specialised expertise in science and knowledge
- Senior executives
- Athletes
- Specialists in engineering and science
- Creative people in culture and the arts
- Inventors
- Outstanding students with promising scientific ability
Each category carries its own conditions and document list. For investors, the type and size of investment matters; for executives, length of service, education and salary level; for specialist categories, degree equivalency and field relevance.
What we do
01
Profile assessment
We assess which category you can apply under and on what basis, and explain the whole process and document list up front. If we don't think you're eligible, we say so.
02
Documents and application
Collecting documents, attestation and equivalency processes, preparing and submitting the application. Follow-up on further requests is ours.
Commonly requested documents
The list varies by category, but the following are frequently required:
- Passport, current visa and Emirates ID copies
- Employment contract and salary certificate or income confirmation letter
- Education certificate attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Six months of personal bank statements
- Title deed, if you own property in the UAE
- A reference letter on your contribution to your industry or the UAE economy
- A copy of your CV
- For company owners and investors: licence, share certificate, audited financial statements, office lease and account movement
Care with deposit-based applications
Where an application rests on a bank deposit held under a non-breakable undertaking, withdrawing or breaking the deposit before the committed term can lead to cancellation of the visa. We settle that condition, with the bank's letter, before applying.
