of the categories.
- Golden residency is a self-sponsored type of residency, without the need of a Guarantor

- It can be available
for those who wish to either: 1) work, 2) invest, or
3) start a business in the country.
- As long as they satisfy
the requirements for each one of the categories.
- Golden Residency is
applied through the ICA, which is the U.A.E. Federal
Immigraiton Authority .
- Directly
through the ICA online platform or through a designated
branch.

the application for the Golden Residency through ICA online
platform is rather self-explanatory and efficient.
