 DUBAI VISA FOR INDIAN
ENTREPRENEURS
The UAE is a popular destination among Indians for business
and residency. Therefore, this is why Dubai has been home
to Indians for several decades, by way of employment,
investment, and entrepreneurship. Moreover, residing in the
UAE requires having a residency visa. Furthermore, it’s the
official permit granted to foreign nationals. In addition, it
allows them to live in the country for extended periods with
a pre-decided grace period.

Furthermore, the UAE government also grants five-year and 10-

year residency permits to Indian entrepreneurs under its golden
visa programme. It aims to enhance the ease of doing business in
the country. However, the business owners must have an
established business worth at least AED 500,000. Furthermore,
it should be approved by a UAE accredited business incubator.
Moreover, for the five- and 10-year permit they have to make
deposits of AED 5 million and 10 million respectively.
