Business Setup & PRO
Eligibility review and document preparation for investors, entrepreneurs and professionals applying for the UAE Golden Visa.
The UAE Golden Visa offers long-term residence to qualifying investors, entrepreneurs, professionals and their families.

In-depth guide
01Long-term residence for business owners
The Golden Visa gives qualifying people a long-term UAE residence that does not depend on an employer, together with the ability to sponsor family members. For entrepreneurs and investors, it brings stability to plan a business over many years.
The criteria differ by category and are revised periodically, so the first step is always to confirm which route you can realistically meet.
02Where accounting comes in
Many business-based routes rely on financial evidence: company capital, the value of your share in the business, or audited statements. If those documents are out of date or inconsistent, the application can stall.
Because SMAS Venture keeps books for UAE companies, we can review whether your financial statements support the route you are considering and help bring them up to standard.
03A complete application
We prepare a checklist for your category, review passports, licences, title deeds or financial documents, and check that names, dates and figures match across every document.
We then support the submission and the follow-on steps such as medical tests, Emirates ID and family visas.
