UAE Golden Visa Guide & Key Benefits (2026)

Can I sponsor my family on a UAE Golden Visa?

Yes. Golden Visa holders can sponsor spouses and children of any age without restrictions, as well as domestic helpers. If the primary Golden Visa holder passes away, family members can remain in the UAE until the full 10-year permit expires.

Do I need an employer sponsor for a Golden Visa?

No. The Golden Visa is 100% self-sponsored. You do not require an employer or local Emirati sponsor. If you change jobs or resign, your Golden Visa remains active and valid.

Where do I submit my Golden Visa application in Dubai?

In Dubai, applications are processed via GDRFA (Amer centers or GDRFA Smart App). In Abu Dhabi and Northern Emirates, applications submit directly through the ICP (Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship) portal.
