Dubai is a city that never fails to captivate visitors with its stunning architecture, high-end lifestyle, and bustling business scene. It serves as a hub for international professionals with diverse skillsets and attracts talent from all over the world.
The Dubai Mainland Visa, also known as a Residence Visa, allows you to reside and work legally within the geographical boundaries of Dubai's mainland. Unlike Free Zone visas, which restrict business activities to designated Free Zone areas, a Dubai Mainland visa offers greater flexibility. With this visa, you can conduct business anywhere in the UAE and even establish your own company on the mainland.
Who Qualifies for a Dubai Mainland Visa?
Obtaining a Dubai Mainland Visa typically requires sponsorship from a company registered on the Dubai mainland. This company acts as your legal sponsor and plays a crucial role in initiating and processing your visa application. Here's a breakdown of the most common sponsorship categories
