Golden Visa
Residency of up to ten years for talented and qualified people and their families. We check your route, prepare the file, submit it through the right official channel and stay with you until the visa is issued.
The Golden Visa is a residence visa of up to ten years that you sponsor yourself. You don't need an employer or a UAE sponsor, and your family can be included.
Most of the work is in the preparation. Each category has its own evidence, and some need a nomination or recommendation before the residency application. Our specialists confirm the current requirements for your category before you pay anything.
You send your documents once, through your secure account. We prepare the application from them and only ask you for what is missing. A specialist then reviews the complete file before it is submitted.
For brands, producers and agencies
Permits for shoots, events and campaigns

All main categories: creative talent, investors, entrepreneurs, specialists and scientists, outstanding students and graduates, and humanitarian and frontline categories. We confirm your category and its current requirements before you pay.
Can you guarantee my visa will be approved?
No one can. The authority decides. What we can do is make sure your application is complete, correct and submitted the right way, which avoids the most common reasons for delays and rejections.
What happens to my documents?
They are kept in your private, encrypted account and seen only by the people working on your case. We use them to prepare your application, and we share them only with the authority or authorised partner handling your submission, with your consent.
Who can see the talent roster?

How are talent booking payments protected?
The client's fee is secured before a booking is confirmed, and it is released to the artist in stages as the agreed work is delivered. The terms are set out in the contract both sides sign.
Do I need a Golden Visa application to use concierge?
No. Any approved account holder can request concierge on its own, or add it later to a visa, permit or booking.
