The opportunity
A ten-year residence, where you may already be.
The UAE Golden Visa grants a ten-year, renewable residence in one of the world’s leading hubs for internationally mobile wealth — a jurisdiction with no personal income tax and a deep, investor-friendly infrastructure.
The principal route is property, from AED 2,000,000, with a shorter two-year permit available at a lower threshold. For many of our clients, this is the base from which everything else is arranged.

Considered within the whole
A residence is the start of a relationship with a jurisdiction — its tax, its time, its obligations. We weigh each option against where you are taxed, where your wealth sits, and where your family intends to be, so the decision serves the whole picture.
