A Residence visa uae is a formal endorsement placed in a passport that grants a foreign national the legal right to live in the country for an extended period, typically one, two, or three years, with the recent introduction of the prestigious Golden Visa offering up to 10 years of residency. Unlike an entry or visit permit, a residence visa is the cornerstone of long-term stay and is a prerequisite for essential activities like opening a bank account, obtaining a driver's license, and enrolling children in schools. It is always tied to a specific sponsor, which can be an employer, a family member (through family sponsorship), a property investment (investor visa), or the individual themselves under a special talent or retirement scheme. |
