UAE Investment-Opportunity Visit Visa: Duration and Requirements

Editorial update — October 21, 2026. This guide replaces the earlier India-specific, new-policy framing with the UAE government's published requirements. The official page was updated July 28, 2026; that is not presented here as a policy launch date.

Purpose and duration

The UAE government's investment-opportunity visit-visa guide describes a route for investors and entrepreneurs exploring business and investment opportunities. No sponsor or host is required. It lists single-entry options valid for 60, 90 or 120 days.

Check the eligibility conditions

The eligibility section addresses financial capacity, talent or high qualifications; professional standing in the intended business in the applicant's home country; and the prescribed financial guarantee. Check the full requirements with the issuing authority rather than assuming nationality alone establishes eligibility.

Prepare the listed documents

The portal lists a colour photograph, a passport copy showing at least six months' validity, and an attested qualification certificate.

Use the official application service

The government page links to GDRFA Dubai's business-exploration entry permit and ICP's 60-, 90- and 120-day services. Follow the relevant service's current requirements before applying. This is a guide to visiting for investment exploration; it does not establish employment or residence eligibility.
