From entry permit to stamping
Renewable with the licence
Available once issued
For a standard investor or partner visa obtained through your own company, there is no separate investment threshold beyond holding shares in a validly licensed UAE entity and having the visa quota to support it. Thresholds like AED 2 million relate to the ten-year Golden Visa, not the standard investor visa. In practice, owning a free zone company with a one-visa package is sufficient.
Yes, provided the licence carries a quota of at least two visas and both hold shares. This is one of the most common reasons founders end up upgrading a package shortly after incorporation — the entry tier often allows only one. We size the quota for all shareholders from the start.
It allows you to manage and work in your own company. It does not permit you to take employment with a different employer — that requires a work permit from that employer. If you plan to consult for others as well as run your own business, tell us; the structure needs to reflect that.
The visa is sponsored by the company, so it is cancelled when the licence is cancelled. You normally receive a grace period to exit or transfer to another sponsor. If you intend to wind down but stay in the UAE, plan the transition before cancellation rather than after.
