Backed by economic and political stability, the UAE is a popular destination for individuals who are looking to establish residency within this region. Holding UAE residency provides tax exemptions, high standards of living, reduced travel restrictions and excellent opportunities for business development.

Before you can apply for a UAE residence visa you will first need a business license, which will then be followed by an immigration or "establishment" card. This card opens a Company's file with the UAE's immigration department and allows that Company to start processing visas with the Authorities.

Here at Magus Consulting, we can assist you with the application of Investor, Employee, Family and Domestic residence visas in order to live and work legally here in the UAE, supporting you throughout this process from start to finish.
