Residency by Investment
As the name suggests, this is simply the process of obtaining permanent residency status in a foreign country by investing there. Programs offering such benefits are widely available and come with numerous advantages over standard immigration processes. While applications for citizenship or long-term visas could take years, or sometimes even months or weeks for nationals from allied nations, this new process typically lasts about six months or less before the resident can secure full residency rights overseas and live full-time outside their native country.
Â
As well as being faster than conventional procedures, these opportunities are usually much more cost-effective too—since they involve making some kind of financial contribution towards developing local industry in exchange for permission to reside there. Permanent residents may apply for naturalization after at least five years (depending on their circumstances) but most often undertake another type of procedure alongside those which qualify them for lifelong rights abroad including holding a temporary permit and securing possession of a re-entry visa–the final stage before obtaining their travel document for life!

Residency by Investment Options from Dubai
- Foreigners who start a job or invest in an existing company can receive residency permits. If you own shares in an established business worth AED 72,000 and will establish a new company with the same amount then you can obtain this visa too.
- Under special circumstances, there is also provision for remote work visas which are provided to workers abroad who want to come to Dubai. It provides them with 1 year of residency but can be renewed under certain conditions.

- Students studying abroad in Dubai are eligible for a permit too but it will depend on how they’re sponsored (either by their parents or one of the recognized universities). Those interested in obtaining visas need to be at least 18 years old and able to provide sufficient evidence as well as have enough funds; they’ll also need medical insurance coverage during the period that they reside here.
The regulations vary depending on what type of visa you want so make sure you learn about each option before deciding which one suits your needs best!
