Understanding UAE Visa Requirements

The UAE has a residency-based system, meaning all foreigners who live and work in Dubai must hold a valid residence visa—typically sponsored by an employer, a family member, or through property or investment.

In most cases, a residence visa is also tied to an Emirates ID, which is essential for everything from opening a bank account to leasing property or signing telecom contracts. Depending on your situation, there are different visa pathways. Sentinel helps you navigate them all.
