Golden Visa — FAQs

  • How do I know which Golden Visa category I qualify for?
    Eligibility depends on your specific profile - investment level, business activity, profession, or academic credentials. Startup Gate will review your profile and identify the most relevant category before you begin the application.
  • Can my family get Golden Visas through my application?
    Golden Visa holders can typically sponsor their spouse, children (sons up to 24 if in full-time education; daughters of any age if dependent), and parents, subject to the applicable rules at the time of application.
  • Is Golden Visa approval guaranteed?
    All Golden Visa applications are assessed and decided by the relevant UAE government authorities. Startup Gate assists with preparation and submission — we cannot guarantee any visa outcome.
  • What documents are typically required?
    Requirements vary by category and include items such as passport copies, Emirates ID, proof of investment or employment, educational certificates, and other supporting documents. Startup Gate will provide a specific checklist based on your category.
