Residence visas for company investors, partners and shareholders in the UAE, with documents checked, applications prepared and a real person following your case to the end.
Overview
These are residence visas for people who invest in or own part of a UAE company. They allow an investor, partner or shareholder to live in the country under the company’s sponsorship, and they’re a common next step after setting up a business. The process involves company approvals, medical checks and several government steps.
Our visa desk manages the process for you. We check your eligibility, prepare the application, coordinate each stage and keep you updated until your visa is complete. You get one point of contact from enquiry to Emirates ID.

What is the difference between an investor visa and a partner visa?
An investor visa is based on your investment in a UAE company, while a partner visa is based on being a partner or shareholder named in the company. The requirements depend on your licence type and shareholding. Tell us your situation and we will confirm which applies.
Who is eligible?
Eligibility depends on factors such as the company’s licence type, your shareholding and the licensing authority’s rules, and these can change. We review your case first and tell you honestly whether you qualify.
What documents are needed for a partner visa?
Typically, the company’s trade licence and establishment details, the partner’s passport copy and photograph, and company ownership documents. Requirements vary by case, so we give you a clear checklist before starting.
How long does a partner visa take?
Timelines depend on the company’s status, the documents and the authorities involved. We give you an expected timeline upfront, though final timing and approval are up to the authorities.
Can I get a partner visa if I’m already in the UAE?
In some cases, yes. It depends on your current visa status and the rules that apply. We confirm what applies to your situation before you pay or begin.
