Your journey begins with expert guidance. Aurum, the representative office of RAKEZ in Dubai, helps you choose the right investment route and ensures your application is handled with care. From paperwork to approvals, we manage the process so you don’t have to worry about delays or errors.

Choose Your Investment Type

Start by deciding whether to invest in a business or property asset. This will define your visa pathway. You have a choice to start your business in any jurisdiction which suits your business requirements. If you're investing in property, just make sure it meets the minimum value needed for the visa.

Prepare the Required Documents

Once your investment type is selected, we help you collect all the necessary documents. These usually include your passport copy, passport-size photo, trade license (for company setup), and any other legal paperwork required for your chosen visa route.

Apply for the Establishment Card

If you’re going the business route, the next step is to apply for an Establishment Card. This is a mandatory document that allows your business to sponsor visas. Aurum will take care of the application on your behalf.

Complete Medical Test & Emirates ID Registration

After your initial visa approval, you’ll undergo a basic medical fitness test and submit your biometric data for the Emirates ID. These are standard procedures for all UAE residency visas.

Get Your Visa Stamped

Once your medical and ID steps are complete, the final stage is visa stamping. Your residency visa is then officially added to your passport, and you can begin living, working, and investing in the UAE as a resident.
