Dubai Investor Visa Application Process
YABS.AE manages the entire investor visa process from initial assessment through approval and visa stamping. Our streamlined process typically takes 15-30 working days.
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1: Investor Visa Eligibility Assessment (Days 1-2)
We evaluate your investment profile, business plans, and visa eligibility. We discuss preferred visa duration (2/3/5/10 years), investment type (business vs property), and family sponsorship requirements. We provide clear guidance on investment minimums and processing timelines specific to your situation.
Step 2: Investment Documentation Preparation (Days 3-5)
Our team prepares comprehensive investment documentation package required by DTCM/DED including: business plan (3-5 pages), financial projections, investment proof documents, bank statements, business registration documents (if existing business), and personal background documentation. All documents are prepared according to 2026 DTCM guidelines.
Step 3: Business Registration or Property Purchase (Days 6-10)
If choosing business investment, we coordinate company setup in Dubai Free Zone (Jafza, DAFZA) or mainland Dubai. For property investment, we facilitate property purchase process with Dubai Land Department registration. This step requires actual capital transfer to complete investment component.
Step 4: DTCM Investor Visa Application (Days 11-15)
We submit complete investor visa application package to Dubai Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing through official channels. Applications are processed on priority basis with established DTCM relationships. Most applications are approved within 10-15 days with minimal information requests.
Step 5: Visa Approval & Emirates ID Processing (Days 16-25)
Upon DTCM approval, we coordinate visa stamping through official UAE Embassy channels (or in-country processing if already in UAE). We simultaneously initiate Emirates ID registration, which is mandatory for all investor visa holders. Processing includes biometrics collection and background verification.
Step 6: Family Sponsorship (Days 26-30)
For sponsored family members (spouse, children), we submit individual visa applications coordinating with Emirates ID authorities. Each dependent requires separate application but processing is batched for efficiency. All family visas are issued with matching validity to primary investor visa.
