Residency, visas and immigration issues in the UAE

What we cover in the UAE

We advise individuals, families and employers on the legal aspects of UAE entry and residence status, sponsorship, work authorisation, long-term residence categories, cancellations, overstays and the interaction between immigration status and employment or company ownership.

• Employment and investor residence

  We examine your employment or investment basis, identity and current status to identify the appropriate residence route and prepare a document checklist or response to an application issue.

• Family sponsorship

  We review the sponsor’s status, family relationship records and application history to identify document gaps and prepare advice or a response on the sponsorship request.

• Golden and long-term residence pathways

  We assess the proposed category against your qualifications, assets or professional records, identify eligibility questions and prepare the supporting-document plan without promising approval.

• Status cancellation and transfer

  We review the current permit, employment or sponsor change and relevant notices to identify the required sequence and prepare advice on cancellation, transfer or a disputed step.

• Overstay and immigration compliance

  We examine entry, expiry and application records alongside any decision or penalty to identify the status problem and prepare a correction request or legal response.

• Employer mobility and work permits

  We review the employment transition, current permit and proposed role to identify work-authorisation questions and coordinate the contract and supporting-document requirements.
