The UAE immigration authorities have confirmed that a minimum of 2 years of experience in the same company in the UAE is now required to obtain a Golden Visa under the salary-based category. All other requirements remain unchanged:
- Employment in a UAE-based company
- The job title must include the word “Manager” or similar designation
- Legalized university degree
- Equivalency certificate for the degree from the UAE Ministry of Education
If your tenure in the company is less than 2 years, we recommend considering an alternative option — applying for the Golden Visa through a fixed deposit of 2 million AED. This can help mitigate risks associated with potential future regulatory changes.
