NOT SURE WHICH ROUTE FITS?
Start with the
difference that matters.
Residency or Golden Visa?
Residency Visa compares the property routes. Golden Visa focuses on qualifying ten-year residence from AED 2 million.
Personal or corporate account?
Personal applications are built around residence and income. Corporate applications must also explain the company, counterparties and expected flows.
Ready to form or still deciding?
Use Company Setup when the business model is defined. Start with a consultation when jurisdiction, activity or residence is still uncertain.
