Process of UAE Golden Visa Residency by Investment
Step 1
Candidate will fill out the UAE golden visa eligibility questionnaire, and send a copy of their main passport page, along with the passport pages of all dependents. The process of compiling necessary documents will proceed depending on the category under which the candidate is applying. Should the candidate require assistance in finding an appropriate property for selection and investment, Step Global Group Real Estate may assist.
Step 2
The candidate will need to prove adequate investment in a property if they have chosen the golden visa program investment route, or managerial experience if under the managerial scheme.
Step 3
The Professional team will submit all necessary documents. If favorable, the professional team will receive the nomination document for the candidate. After the nomination document is received, the application for an Emirates ID can begin.
Step 4
The Candidate will receive an appointment for biometrics and medicals. The professional team may accompany the candidate to the biometrics and medical appointment if required. Candidates and dependents will complete biometrics and medicals.
Step 5
If medicals are favorable, approval for the Golden Visa UAE will be received. The candidate’s passport will be sent to the government for stamping with the Golden Visa document. After this is completed, the Emirates ID will be issued. It may be sent directly to the candidate or to the professional team to disperse to the candidate.
