Background
Mr Wong, from Hong Kong, applied with his wife and one child. He wanted UAE residence and to organise his family’s assets.
Main concern
He worried that status and asset planning handled separately would be hard to coordinate.
Our approach
GI Group planned his tax and asset arrangements alongside the Golden Visa application.
Process and outcome
He received the Golden Visa in about 2 months and completed his family asset planning.
Adviser’s comment
Planning status and assets together avoids conflicting arrangements.
UAE Golden Visa application process
- Assessment and choice of route (2–6 weeks): We confirm the right route, shortlist qualifying property or businesses, and verify how the property value will be counted.
- Purchase and registration (Depends on the transaction): Complete the purchase and register with the land department; mortgaged or off-plan property needs a no-objection certificate.
- Golden Visa application (Depends on processing): Submit the application and complete the medical and biometrics.
- Residence and family applications (After approval): Collect your residence and Emirates ID, and apply for your spouse and children.
