Sharika – here to help you with your UAE residence visa.
To live and work in the UAE, you’ll need a residence visa (also known as a residential visa or residency visa). There are lots of benefits to having a UAE visa, such as opening a bank account, obtaining a UAE driving licence and being able to send your children to the local schools.
You’re eligible for a visa in Dubai and the UAE if you’re investing or buying a property in the country, and also if you’re working, studying or retiring here. Your dependents should be eligible for a UAE family visa.
In the UAE, you can only apply for your residence visa when you’re already living here so you’ll need to make that first move on an entry permit. But don’t worry – our intuitive app-based platform will guide you through every stage of the process, before and after your move to the UAE.
