FAQs: UAE Business & Residence Visas
Get clear answers to the most common questions about business visas, residency, and the application process.
What's the difference between an Entry Permit and a Residence Visa?
The Entry Permit is your initial approval to enter the UAE specifically to process your residence visa — typically valid for 60 days from issuance. The Residence Visa is the long-term residency sticker stamped in your passport after you complete medical tests and other formalities inside the UAE, granting legal residency for 2 or 3 years.
How long does the entire visa process take?
Entry Permit: 2–5 working days. Medical Test & Status Change: 2–3 days after arrival. Emirates ID & Visa Stamping: 5–10 working days after medical clearance. Our all-inclusive packages account for this entire timeline (10–20 working days) — delays can occur if documents need correction.
Can I leave the UAE during visa processing?
Once you enter the UAE on your Entry Permit, you must remain in the country until your medical test is complete and your immigration status is changed. Leaving before this cancels the process, requiring a new Entry Permit. After status change, travel may be possible — consult with us first.
What happens if I fail the medical fitness test?
The medical test primarily screens for infectious diseases like tuberculosis. A positive result typically means the applicant will not be granted a residence visa and must leave the country. In specific cases, authorities may permit a treatment and re-testing period, but this isn't guaranteed.
What are the typical government fees for a visa?
Government fees are included in our Employee and Investor package prices, covering MOHRE/EIC approval, immigration fees, medical test fee, and Emirates ID fee. We provide a detailed fee breakdown in your final quotation — additional costs for dependents or attestation are always communicated upfront.
Can I sponsor my family members?
Yes. Once you hold a valid UAE residence visa and meet the minimum salary requirement (typically AED 4,000/month or AED 3,000 + accommodation), you can sponsor your spouse and children, with separate government fees for each. We offer comprehensive family sponsorship assistance.
