Residency

Visas & Emirates ID

Investor, employment and dependant visas with medical, biometrics and Emirates ID managed end to end.

Overview

How we handle visas & emirates id

A UAE residence visa is what turns a licence into a life in Dubai: bank accounts, tenancy, schooling and driving licences all depend on it. The process has five stages, and each has a deadline that can void the previous step if missed.

Your consultant books every appointment, accompanies you to medical and biometrics if you wish, and tracks the file until your Emirates ID is delivered. Family visas follow the same path once your own residency is stamped.
