Golden Visa, Green Visa, investor and employee visas, family sponsorship and Emirates ID — managed end-to-end by Avyanco's PRO team. Most engagements close 7–21 working days from entry.
UAE residence visas now run on multiple tracks: the 10-year Golden Visa for investors, specialists and exceptional talent, the 5-year Green Visa for freelancers and skilled workers, the employer-sponsored employee route, and the investor visa tied to the founder's own company. Each route has its own eligibility test, evidence pack and sequencing through GDRFA and ICP.
UAE residence visas have moved from one-track to multi-track. The 10-year Golden Visa for investors, specialists and exceptional talent now sits alongside the 5-year Green Visa for freelancers and skilled workers, the standard employer-sponsored employee route and the investor visa tied to the founder's own company. Each route has its own eligibility test, its own evidence pack and its own sequencing through GDRFA and ICP.
Avyanco scopes the right route against the founder's profile before opening the application. Entry permit, medical, biometrics, Emirates ID and the residence stamp are tracked as a single sequence, and family sponsorship is folded in alongside. The work is partner-led by Pritesh Mehta and managed as a single coordinated engagement — not a sequence of disconnected counters.
Four primary residency routes — the right one depends on profile, sponsor and family situation.
Renewable 10-year residency for qualifying investors, real estate investors, entrepreneurs, exceptional talents and specialists in priority sectors. Each route has its own qualifying criteria — we scope eligibility before applying.
5-year residency for skilled employees, freelancers and self-employed individuals. No employer sponsor required. Qualifying salary and education conditions apply.
Residence visa tied to ownership of a UAE mainland or free zone company. Standard route for founders setting up their own business. Issued for 2 or 3 years depending on emirate.
Five steps. Standard sequence closes in 7 to 21 working days from entry to the UAE.
Confirm the right route (Golden / Green / Investor / Employee) against profile, sponsor and family. Prepare and attest the evidence pack.
Entry permit issued by GDRFA / ICP. Founder enters the UAE on the entry permit if not already resident.
Medical fitness test, biometric enrolment and Emirates ID application processed inside the UAE.
Residence visa stamped into the passport (or e-visa issued). Emirates ID delivered.
Spouse, child and parent visa applications opened against the founder's now-active residence visa.
Minimum documentation. Specific routes (Golden, Green) may need additional evidence.
Visa work that runs alongside the business — not behind it.
We confirm the right route against profile, sponsor and family situation before opening the application — not the default product pitch.
Investor visa runs alongside the licence so the founder is residency-ready on day one of the business.
Education certificates, salary certificates and family documents attested and prepared to GDRFA / ICP standards.
Investor, specialist, exceptional-talent and pioneer routes scoped, evidenced and applied with the right qualifying pack.
Spouse, child and parent sponsorship folded into the same engagement — single sequence, single PRO.
Renewals, status changes, dependant additions and Emirates ID updates managed on an ongoing PRO retainer.
Partner-led visa practice — Pritesh Mehta leads UAE visa & immigration alongside Avyanco's wider operations team.
Three things that come up in every visa engagement.
Golden, Green, investor or employee — the right route comes from a scoping conversation, not a default product.
Visa work tracked alongside the licence — Emirates ID, banking and family sponsorship lined up so day-one residency works.
Renewals, status changes and Emirates ID updates managed continuously — not crisis-managed.
