UAE Status Change

Convert your UAE visit status to residency — without leaving the country.

Timeline
7–20 working days from application to residency stamping.
Investment
AED 4,000

A status change allows individuals already in the UAE on a visit visa, tourist visa, or visa-free entry to convert to residency status without exiting the country. This is commonly used when someone enters the UAE and then secures employment, completes company formation, or is sponsored for family residency. The process requires precise coordination — the current visa must be cancelled and the new residency activated without creating a gap in legal status. We manage the full process including eligibility confirmation, timing assessment, application submission, medical testing, and Emirates ID processing.

Government status change fees, current visa cancellation fees, new residency application fees, medical examination fees, Emirates ID fees, and health insurance premiums are separate.
