Taqweet is that partner, making sure that every form, every detail, and every timeline is handled quickly and without hassle.

What is a UAE Investor Visa?

The UAE Investor Visa lets you live in the Abu Dhabi if you put money into a new or existing business. The visa lasts for two full years, and it’s easy to renew. That’s why it’s a great choice for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and investors who want to stay in the UAE for a long time.

With the Investor Visa, you can work and live in the UAE’s booming economy. You’ll network with like-minded professionals and keep every dirham you earn—thanks to no income tax.

Requirements and processes

To get the two-year UAE Investor Visa, you must either own a business in the UAE or have a stake in one that is already registered. You also need a valid trade licence. When you apply, you’ll show proof of your investment plus the usual passport copies, recent photos, and any other paperwork that the emirate may need.

The process includes getting trade licence approval, going through immigration, passing a medical test, registering for an Emirates ID, and getting the visa stamped. Applying for an Investor Visa on your own can feel risky. If you miss a local law or rule, your application can stall for weeks or even months. Our trusted PRO team at Taqweet handles every step for you, so everything is filed correctly and arrives on schedule.
