UAE Investor Visa Update: Keep AED 50,000 in Your Account to Avoid Delays

If you’re applying for or renewing a partner or investor visa in Dubai; Whether in the mainland or a free zone, there’s a new rule you should know about.

Applicants must now maintain an active UAE bank account (personal or corporate) with an average balance of at least AED 50,000

Here’s what’s required:

  • For visa renewals: Provide 3 months of UAE corporate bank statements.
  • For new companies or visas: Submit 3 months of personal bank statements until your corporate account is opened.

Not meeting these requirements could cause visa delays or rejections.

In short, keep your account active, maintain the required balance, and stay compliant to ensure a smooth visa process in the UAE. This update applies only to Partner and Investor Visas. It does not apply to Employee or Golden Visas, which remain unaffected by this rule.
