Why This Program

Why Clients Choose Our discretionary Valued Investor Pathway

A UAE Golden Visa without the conventional barriers — no real estate purchase, no business investment, no capital commitment. Long-term residency in one of the world's most dynamic economies, built on who you are rather than what you spend.

10-Year Renewable Residency
Long-term, renewable residency in one of the world's most dynamic economies. Visas are renewed automatically at the end of the 10-year term — no reapplication required.
No Sponsor Required
Full autonomy to live, work, and operate businesses in the UAE without a local sponsor or employer tie. Complete independence from day one.
No Mandatory Investment
Unlike conventional Golden Visa routes, there is no requirement for upfront real estate purchases or capital commitment. Eligibility is based on professional standing and income.
Full Family Inclusion
Spouse, unmarried children, and dependent parents can all be added to the visa. All family members receive an Emirates ID and full residency privileges.
Zero Personal Income Tax
The UAE has no personal income, capital gains, or inheritance tax — making it one of the most favourable jurisdictions globally for wealth preservation and business operations.
Complete Travel Flexibility
Residency remains valid even if the holder stays outside the UAE for extended periods. No minimum stay and no 180-day rule — full lifestyle freedom maintained.
100% Business Ownership
Golden Visa holders can secure 100% foreign ownership of a mainland UAE business, with full repatriation of profits and no Emirati partner requirement.
Full Resident Privileges
Access to schooling, property ownership, car rental, accommodation, banking, company formation, healthcare, and financing — everything a UAE national resident enjoys.
Family Security Provision
In the event of the primary visa holder's passing, family members are permitted to remain in the UAE until the end of their permit's duration — providing continuity and stability.
Guarantee Refund Once your application is formally accepted and submitted, in the event the application is unsuccessful, any fees paid are fully refundable. No exceptions, no conditions.

How our discretionary Valued Investor Pathway Compares

Who Can Apply

Eligibility Criteria

Our Valued Investor Pathway is designed for senior professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and investors who can demonstrate credibility through professional standing and verifiable income — rather than a large capital commitment. Applicants must meet three core criteria.

No age or nationality restrictions apply. The Valued Investor Pathway is open to qualifying applicants of all nationalities and ages within the applicable UAE regulatory framework. Certain nationalities may affect nomination timelines (please enquire for more information).
01
Professional Profile
Senior executive, investor, or entrepreneurial background
Applicants must demonstrate a credible senior executive, investor, or entrepreneurial background. This is verified via the applicant's LinkedIn profile and current CV. Being discretionary, the program is not restricted to "exceptional talents" or "specialized professionals" — a demonstrable professional track record is the standard.
02
Minimum Monthly Income
USD 8,000 – 10,000 / month, verifiable
A minimum verifiable monthly income of USD 8,000 to USD 10,000 is required, documented through supporting financial evidence. Salary slips, bank statements, business income, dividends, or other demonstrable income sources are acceptable. A VIMB advisor will confirm accepted documentation types during the discovery call.
03
In-Country UAE Visit
5–7 days for biometrics and formalities
The applicant must be available to visit the UAE for approximately 5–7 days to complete biometric data collection, a medical examination, and Emirates ID processing. Full on-the-ground support is provided throughout the visit by our team.
