Streamlining the visa process

What is Dubai Residence Visa

A Dubai Residence Visa allows foreign nationals to live in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for an extended duration. The visa’s validity can range from 1 to 10 years, depending on factors like the visa category and the applicant’s qualifications.

This visa, issued by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA), is essential for individuals wishing to reside and work in Dubai.

It can be acquired through a sponsor, such as an employer or a family member. With the residence visa, holders gain access to various services, including the ability to open a bank account, apply for a driver’s license, and enroll their children in schools. It is a crucial document for those seeking to establish long-term residency in Dubai.
