All AED amounts shown below are 2026 indicative starting ranges based on standard activity codes. Final cost depends on the activity, jurisdiction, shareholder structure and visa quota. Request a written quotation via WhatsApp +971543322846 or our contact form before remitting any payment.

Standard process

1. Eligibility & sponsor confirmation (mainland LLC, free-zone entity, employer, family sponsor or self).
2. Entry permit application (e-visa) via the relevant authority — GDRFA, ICP, free-zone or DMT.
3. Status change (if inside UAE) or entry on the e-visa (if outside).
4. Medical fitness test at an approved DHA / SEHA / MOHAP centre — for residence visas only.
5. Emirates ID biometrics — for residence visas only.
6. Compliant health insurance — mandatory before stamping residence.
7. Final visa stamping & Emirates ID delivery.

Timeline

Tourist visas are typically issued in 24–72 hours. Residence visas (investor, employment, family) complete in 7–14 working days standard, or 3–5 days on express. Golden Visas take 15–30 days due to nomination committee review.

Required documents (residence visas)

• Valid passport copy (≥ 6 months remaining)
• Recent biometric photograph
• Trade licence + share certificate (investor / partner)
• Employment contract + labour-card approval (employee)
• MOFA-attested marriage / birth certificate (family)
• Salary certificate or bank statement (sponsor)
• Tenancy contract / Ejari (residence in Dubai)
• Educational certificates attested (skilled-employment, Golden talent)

Common pitfalls

• Booking flights before the entry permit is approved — non-issuance can cause forfeiture.
• Using non-attested marriage certificates for spouse visas — instant rejection.
• Overstay fines (currently AED 50/day after the grace period) — DBS proactively monitors expiry.
• Selecting low-cost insurance that fails the new mandatory health-insurance compliance check.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which UAE visa is best for a startup founder in 2026?

For most founders forming a free-zone company, the standard investor / partner residence visa (2–3 years) is the most cost-effective entry point. Once revenue or net-worth thresholds are met, the Golden Visa (10-year) becomes the better long-term option. DBS structures the upgrade path so you do not pay twice.

How much does a UAE Golden Visa cost?

All-in 2026 cost for a 10-year Golden Visa starts at approximately AED 9,800, covering nomination, government fees, medical, Emirates ID and insurance. Property-investor and specialised-talent routes have additional one-time submissions.

Do I need health insurance for every UAE visa?

Yes. Health insurance is mandatory for all residence visas across all emirates effective 2025. Tourist visas do not legally require it, but it is strongly recommended.

Can my UAE visa be processed while I'm abroad?

Yes. The entry permit can be issued while you are outside the UAE; you then enter on the e-visa, complete medical and Emirates ID biometrics, and have the residence stamped — typically a single 5-day trip is enough.

How long can I stay outside the UAE without losing my residence?

Standard residence visas are cancelled if the holder remains outside the UAE for more than 6 continuous months. Golden Visa holders are exempt from this rule.

Can DBS help with a labour ban or rejected visa?

Yes. The DBS PRO team handles labour-ban lift requests, MOHRE escalations, security clearance appeals and ICP general-immigration objections, with success documented in our case ledger.

Does the visa fee include the medical and Emirates ID?

The DBS “all-in” quote on this page already includes medical fitness, Emirates ID, insurance, government and DBS fees — there are no surprise add-ons before stamping.

Comparison: who should pick which visa?

Profile	Recommended visa
Founder forming a free-zone company	Investor / partner residence (2–3 years)
High-net-worth investor with property ≥ AED 2M	Golden Visa (10 years)
Skilled professional self-sponsoring	Green Visa (5 years)
Spouse + children of resident	Family / dependant residence
Remote worker employed abroad	Virtual Work Permit (1–2 years)
Frequent traveller / business scouting	5-year multi-entry tourist visa
