Ampsy Consultancy LLC provides end-to-end business setup, support, and advisory services in the UAE.
Self-sponsored UAE residency for company owners and shareholders. Ampsy Consultancy manages your investor residence application from eligibility check to Emirates ID, and helps you compare it with the Golden Residence Permit for investors.
A UAE investor visa gives company owners and shareholders self-sponsored residency tied directly to their trade licence, rather than to an employer. It's the standard residency route for anyone who owns or holds shares in a UAE mainland or free zone company, typically valid for two or three years and renewable as long as your company remains active. It's a different pathway from the 10-year Golden Visa, with lower investment thresholds and a faster, more straightforward process for most business owners. Ampsy Consultancy manages your eligibility check and full application.
Whether you are starting an investor residence application or comparing it with the Golden Residence Permit for investors, Ampsy Consultancy guides you through every step of your investor visa in UAE. Our team first reviews your trade licence, shareholding and company structure, so you know which residency route fits your situation before you spend time on paperwork. If you are a company owner or shareholder, we prepare and submit your investor residence application, coordinate the entry permit or status change, medical test and Emirates ID, and keep you updated until your residency is active. If you are looking at long-term residency, we also explain how the Golden Residence Permit for investors differs from the standard investor visa and whether you may qualify. With clear advice, complete documentation and one team handling the process, you can focus on running your business while we take care of your UAE residency. If you do not have a company yet, we can also help with your mainland company setup or free zone company setup.
We confirm your shareholding and company structure meet the requirements for self-sponsored residency under your specific licence type.
We secure an entry permit if you're applying from abroad, or manage the in-country status change if you're already in the UAE.
We coordinate your medical fitness test and biometric appointment so your ID application isn't held up waiting on results.
The final step activating your legal UAE residence on your passport, tied to your ownership in the company.
Once your own visa is active, we help you sponsor your family through a family residence visa and track your renewal date so your residency stays continuous.
The Golden Residence Permit for investors is a long-term residency, usually 5 or 10 years depending on the category, for qualifying investors and entrepreneurs. It needs higher investment thresholds than the standard investor visa. Requirements are set by UAE authorities and can change, so we confirm the current criteria before you apply.

Unlike the standard investor visa, which is linked to your trade licence and company shares, the Golden Residence Permit for investors is designed for people who want longer-term stability and more independence in the UAE. It is often considered by investors, business owners and entrepreneurs who plan to stay and grow their presence in the country. Eligibility depends on the type of investment, its value and the documents you can provide, so the right option is different for every applicant.
Our team reviews your profile, compares the Golden Residence Permit with your investor visa in UAE options, and recommends the route that matches your goals and budget. We then prepare your documents, handle the application and keep you informed at each stage, so you always know where your file stands. If you are not yet eligible for the Golden Residence Permit, we can start with the standard investor residence application and review your options again as your business or investments grow.
The exact list depends on your licence type and whether you apply from inside or outside the UAE. Typically we ask for a passport copy, a passport-size photo, your trade licence, proof of shareholding such as the MOA or share certificate, and your Emirates ID if you already live in the UAE. We confirm the full list for your case before we start.
Depending on your company structure and the authority handling your file, additional documents may be requested, such as the company establishment contract, a tenancy or Ejari document, or an approval from the relevant free zone or licensing authority. If you are applying from outside the UAE, we also help with the entry permit documents needed before you travel. If you are already in the UAE, we guide you through the status change so your application moves forward without delays caused by missing papers. Every document should be valid, clear and consistent with your trade licence details, because even small differences in names or dates can slow down an investor residence application. Our team checks each document before submission, tells you exactly what is missing and prepares the application so that your investor visa in UAE is processed smoothly.
As a company owner, your residency shouldn't depend on anyone else's sponsorship. Ampsy Consultancy manages your investor visa application from eligibility through to Emirates ID, so your right to live in the UAE is as secure as the business you built. We also help with UAE bank account opening and our wider UAE visa services.

The standard investor visa is tied to your company shares, typically valid for two or three years, and renews as long as your company stays active. The Golden Visa is a longer-term, 5 or 10-year residency with higher investment thresholds but greater independence and stability. We help you decide which fits your situation.
Requirements vary by jurisdiction and licence type, but most free zones and mainland structures allow any shareholder to apply for self-sponsored residency, regardless of shareholding percentage. We confirm the exact rule for your specific company structure.
Yes, on the same terms as most other UAE residence visas, once your own residency is active and you meet the income threshold. We handle the sponsorship applications for your spouse and children once your investor visa is confirmed.
Since the visa is tied to your ownership, exiting the company or its closure will affect your residency status, and you'd need a new sponsorship route to remain in the UAE. We can advise on transition options if your circumstances change.
Processing time depends on your licence type and on whether you apply from abroad or change status inside the UAE. Contact Ampsy Consultancy for an estimate based on your company structure.
