Visa Acquisition

RESIDENT VISA

To secure a residence visa in the UAE, individuals can qualify either as a company owner (investor residence visa) or as an employee (work residence visa). For instance, securing employment in a company based in the United Arab Emirates is one way to obtain a work residence visa. These resident visas are granted by the UAE Immigration Service, a government agency, and typically have a validity period of 2 to 3 years, contingent on the specific emirate and economic zone.

In What Cases Can A Resident Visa Be Refused?

The denial of a resident visa can stem from factors beyond the Anti-Crime Service's decision. Health considerations play a crucial role, with diseases like HIV, hepatitis B, C, D, tuberculosis, syphilis, and other sexually transmitted diseases being significant determinants. This approach by UAE authorities aims to control the entry of individuals who may pose health risks, and in certain instances, individuals with such diseases are required to leave the UAE as a mandatory measure.

Procedure For Obtaining

RESIDENT VISA

Issue of an entry permit to the UAE for an individual entity before they arrive in the UAE.

Arrival of a person in the UAE. Iris-scanning and photo after the arrival. Obtaining stamps of entry into the country. Providing data to government agencies and Immigration Service about the arrival of an individual.

Passing a medical examination in one of the authorized medical institutions for the detection of diseases that are not compatible with the issuance of a resident visa. At this stage, a blood sample is taken from the vein and a fluorography is performed. This step usually takes 2-4 days. Then the medical institution issues a certificate stating that “the person is healthy and fit to live in the UAE” or “not fit to live in the UAE”.

After medical examination, a person draws up an Emirates ID, where all relevant biometric and passport information about him is stored. To obtain this identification card, a person must go to one of the state identification centers and submit their biometric data (fingerprints, retinal scan, profile photo).

The issuance of ID takes approximately 4-5 weeks. However, for resident visa it will be enough to provide a copy of the confirmation document from the identification center, which is issued to everyone after the submitting biometric data procedure.

Now you have a certificate from an authorized medical center and a confirmation from the Emirates ID identification center. You need to apply for a resident visa in the UAE.
