Self Sponsored Visa UAE
UAE’s 1-Year Self-Sponsored Visa
A 1-year self-sponsored visa in the UAE offers a fantastic opportunity for those seeking independence to live and work in the country. This visa allows you to sponsor yourself without needing an employer or family member, making it ideal for freelancers, remote workers, and entrepreneurs. Here’s how Noor Al Hayat Tourism can guide you through the process and get you started.
What is a Self-Sponsored Visa in the UAE?
A self-sponsored visa is a residency visa that lets you live and work in the UAE without relying on a traditional sponsor. Instead, you can sponsor yourself through freelancing, owning a business, or making a qualifying investment in the UAE. With Noor Al Hayat Tourism, the process becomes straightforward and hassle-free, giving you full independence and the flexibility to sponsor your family as well.
Who Can Apply for a Self-Sponsored Visa?
Both residents and non-residents can apply for the self-sponsored visa:
- UAE Residents: If you’re already in the UAE on a family visa (such as a parent’s or spouse’s visa), you only need a freelancer permit to qualify. Full-time professionals can also apply for this visa to start freelancing legally.
- Non-Residents: If you’re outside the UAE and interested in freelancing here, Noor Al Hayat Tourism can assist you in applying for a freelancer or self-sponsored visa along with a residency permit to start living and working independently in the UAE.
