UAE residence visa questions, answered

Straight answers on who qualifies, how long each visa lasts and what we do for you.

Can I get a UAE residence visa by setting up a company?

Yes. Owners and partners of a UAE company can hold a residence visa that the company sponsors. With us, the visa is part of your company setup, priced per visa, and it renews every two years.

Who is eligible for the UAE Golden Visa?

Investors with AED 2 million in UAE property, a UAE company or a bank or fund deposit, entrepreneurs, senior professionals earning at least AED 30,000 a month, and people with exceptional talent, among others. It lasts 10 years and needs no sponsor. We confirm your eligibility on a call before we charge for the application.

How long is a UAE residence visa valid?

Two years for a visa through your own company or an employer, and it renews. The Green Visa and the retirement visa last five years, the Golden Visa ten, and the remote work visa one.

Can I sponsor my family?

Yes, with a monthly income of at least AED 4,000, or AED 3,000 with housing from your employer, and suitable housing for them. Your spouse, unmarried daughters, sons under 25 and children with special needs can join you, on visas that run with yours.

What is a change of status?

If you are already in the UAE on another visa, a change of status moves you onto your new residence visa without leaving the country. You add it when you order, as its own line.

Who decides whether my visa is approved?

The issuing authority: GDRFA in Dubai, ICP in the other emirates. What we control is your file. We check your eligibility first and prepare every application to the standard the authority asks for.

OMC is a reliable and professional company in the UAE. Their team is knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to help. The quality of their service exceeded my expectations, and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended.
