Gulf visas & residency FAQ

Do I need residency to run my company?
Not to incorporate, but usually yes to open corporate banking and operate day-to-day. We time investor or partner residency to go live with your company formation.
What is Golden Residency?
A long-term (typically 5–10 year) residency for investors, entrepreneurs and specialised talent, with dependants and no local sponsor. Eligibility varies by jurisdiction — see Bahrain Golden Residency.
Can my family get residency too?
Yes. Dependant visas for a spouse and children are standard once your own residency is issued; we handle them in the same run.
How long do residency visas take?
Typically 1–4 weeks depending on jurisdiction and visa type, including the medical and biometrics steps.
