As an EU citizen, you are only allowed to stay in the UAE for 90 days at a time. After that you have to leave the country. The tourist visa can be issued on arrival at the airport. If you want to stay in the UAE for the long term or travel to <a href=\"https:\/\/dubaisetup.co\/wissen\/dubai-auswandern\"><strong>Emigrate to Dubai<\/strong><\/a> would like to travel, you need a Residency VISA.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9e5e41 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"f9e5e41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/tqiySEaRBLc?si=gehnUjh0RssKI6uf&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-f9e5e41{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3be93e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3be93e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Prerequisites<\/h2><p>In principle, there are various ways to obtain a residence visa, as there are different types of VISA as described above. The requirements differ accordingly. However, the following is an overview of the most important and most popular categories.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Job\u00a0<\/strong>If you are employed by a company, you will receive a so-called Employment VISA. The company where you are employed provides this. A job is therefore the key to a residence visa for many people.<\/li><li><strong>Company\u00a0<\/strong>All those who are self-employed can <a href=\"https:\/\/dubaisetup.co\/wissen\/firma-in-dubai-gruenden\"><strong>Foundation of a company in Duba<\/strong><\/a>i, employ themselves and therefore also receive a VISA via Employment. The company can, but does not have to be actively used.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Investment\u00a0<\/strong>Investments in real estate (e.g. K<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dubaisetup.co\/wissen\/dubai-wohnung-kaufen\">on an apartment in Dubai<\/a><\/strong>) or in an investment product of the bank in the amount of AED 2,000,000 or more makes it possible to obtain a residence visa. In this case, it is a special form, the so-called <a href=\"https:\/\/dubaisetup.co\/wissen\/golden-visa-dubai\"><strong>Golden VISA in Dubai<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Family\u00a0<\/strong>A father who emigrates can relatively easily \u201csponsor\u201d his wife and children.

If you set up a company, you must of course do this first, or if you go down the investment route for the Golden VISA, you must of course make and provide proof of this first.\u00a0<\/p><p>However, apart from meeting the individual requirements, there is one essential part that is the same for everyone. This can be broken down into the following 3 steps.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0dd317 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e0dd317\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Medical Check<\/h3><p>The medical check is a short test that must be carried out in Dubai. This involves a lung X-ray and a blood test. This is primarily to rule out highly infectious sexually transmitted diseases or polio. This is not a problem for most Europeans.\u00a0<\/p><p>There are numerous facilities for this in Dubai and we always accompany our customers personally.\u00a0<\/p><p>The test itself, including the waiting time, takes a maximum of 30 minutes and you will receive the result in a maximum of 3 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c882dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7c882dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Emirates ID Application<\/h3><p>With the positive result \u201cFIT,\u201d you can then apply for your Emirates ID at a Typing Center. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dubaisetup.co\/wissen\/emirates-id\">Emirates ID<\/a><\/strong> a key document in the UAE, which is linked to the VISA.

This is where the biometric data (fingerprints) linked to the Emirates ID are taken. It serves as a digital signature and ensures that the Emirates ID can only be used by one person.\u00a0<\/p><p>Upon completion, the Emirates ID will be printed and delivered to the applicant.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc037f1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bc037f1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d3e603 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7d3e603\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Costs<\/h2><p>The costs for the entire process depend heavily on whether you hire an agency or carry out the entire process, including all official channels, yourself. In the case of the latter, you can generally expect costs of around \u20ac500 - \u20ac750 depending on the desired processing time. If you book VIP, you will get faster processing.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16f8735 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"16f8735\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5abbf9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5abbf9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Summary<\/h2><p>The Residence VISA enables permanent residence in the UAE.
