We handle your UAE residency from A to Z: route selection, entry permit, medicals, Emirates ID, insurance and visa stamping — for you and your family.
A UAE Residence Visa allows you to live in the Emirates long-term, sponsor your family, open bank accounts, obtain a driver’s license, rent or buy property, and access essential services. Depending on the route, visas are typically issued for 2–10 years with renewal options.
Common pathways include employment, investor/partner visas via company ownership, property owner visas, and family sponsorship. After arrival or status change, applicants complete medical fitness, Emirates ID biometrics and health insurance before visa stamping (or issuance of e-visa).
Inlex Partners provides a streamlined, compliant process tailored to your circumstances — reducing paperwork, avoiding mistakes and saving time.
We advise on the best route and manage the entire journey for each profile.
Work visa sponsored by a UAE employer (mainland or free zone).
Investor/partner visas through company ownership or formation.
Residency via eligible property investment subject to authority criteria.
Spouse, children and (in some cases) parents can be sponsored by a resident.
Residency via freelance or professional permits in select free zones.
10-year residency for investors, talents and other qualifying categories.
Both routes provide residency, but requirements and family sponsorship rules can differ between mainland authorities (GDRFA) and free zones/ICP. We recommend the route that best matches your budget, activity, and timeline.
