UAE Visa Assistance
Investor, employment and dependent visa processing linked to a UAE company licence.
A United Arab Emirates residence visa is sponsored — by an employer, by a company you own, by a family member, or under one of the long-term categories. It is not obtained independently of a sponsor, which is why it usually follows a company setup rather than preceding it.
Once granted, a residence visa brings the Emirates ID, the ability to open a personal bank account, to rent in your own name, and to sponsor dependants. It is what converts a company licence into an ability to actually live and operate there.

The visa quota follows the office
A company can sponsor a number of residence visas determined by its licence type and the office space it occupies. A flexi-desk arrangement supports very few; larger allocations require physical premises scaling with area.
Founders planning to relocate staff should establish the allocation before committing to a licence package, because increasing it later means taking larger premises rather than paying a supplementary fee.
What a residence visa does not do
It does not by itself make you tax resident anywhere, and it does not change your Indian tax residence. Indian residence is determined by days of physical presence under the Income Tax Act, not by holding a foreign visa.
Assuming that a UAE residence visa ends Indian tax residence is a common and expensive error. Where genuine relocation is intended, the day count and the timing within the financial year need to be planned deliberately.
How we handle it
- 1 Identifying the category We establish which visa category fits your circumstances, since the sponsor, documents and timeline all follow from it.
- 2 Document attestation Educational and personal certificates are attested for UAE use where the category requires it, which is usually the longest lead item.
- 3 Entry permit The entry permit is applied for through the sponsoring company or employer.
- 4 Medical and biometrics The medical fitness test and Emirates ID biometrics are completed in the UAE.
- 5 Visa issued The residence visa is issued and the Emirates ID card follows.
- 6 Dependants Where required, family sponsorship is processed once your own residence is in place.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a UAE residence visa without a company?
Not independently. Residence is sponsored — by an employer, by a company you own, by a family member, or under a long-term category with its own eligibility conditions.
How many visas can my company sponsor?
It depends on the licence type and office space. A flexi-desk supports very few; larger allocations require physical premises scaling with area.
Does a UAE visa end my Indian tax residence?
No. Indian residence is determined by days of physical presence under the Income Tax Act, not by holding a foreign visa. Assuming otherwise is a common and expensive error.
Do I have to travel to the UAE?
Yes. The medical fitness test and Emirates ID biometrics must be completed in the country, and most banks require the signatory to attend in person.
Can I sponsor my family?
Yes, once your own residence is in place and you meet the salary and accommodation conditions. Attested marriage and birth certificates are required.
