Visa Services
From investor and employment visas to family sponsorship, freelance permits, and Golden Visas, Riz & Mona manages the complete UAE visa process. Over 10,000 visas processed since 2009 across every visa category and authority in Dubai.
Visa services in Dubai cover obtaining, renewing, or cancelling a UAE residence visa. Each type has its own eligibility, documentation, and cost. The right choice from the start prevents expensive amendments later.
The UAE offers flexible residency pathways: a 10-year Golden Visa, freelance permits without a company, 5-year Green Visas, family sponsorship including parents, and employer-sponsored work visas with full cost coverage.
Whether you are starting a business, freelancing, accepting a job, relocating with family, or investing in property, the right visa structure depends on your goals, budget, and how long you plan to stay.
Each visa type serves a different purpose and profile. Below is every visa service we handle. Select yours for the full guide with costs, documents, and process.

All figures are indicative for 2026 and vary by visa category, authority, and applicant profile. Employment visa costs are the employer's legal responsibility under UAE labour law. Riz & Mona Consultancy provides a precise quote for your specific visa type at consultation.
Processing Time Range
Working Days
Across all visa types. Employment and family visas process in 5 to 10 days. Freelance visas take 4 to 6 weeks including the free zone permit stage.
Start Early: Processing speed depends on document quality, authority workload, and visa type. Incomplete or inaccurate submissions are the most common cause of delays. Starting with the right documents from day one is the biggest factor in fast processing.
Processing varies by type. Employment visas are the fastest. Golden Visa takes longest due to eligibility verification. All timelines assume complete, accurate document submission.
These are the core documents across most UAE visa types. Specific requirements vary by category. Each dedicated visa page has the complete checklist for that type.
Detailed document checklists for each visa type are available on the dedicated pages linked above. Select your visa category for the complete requirements specific to your situation.
Every UAE residence visa must be renewed before expiry. A 60-day grace period applies after expiry for standard visas. Overstay fines of AED 50 per day begin after the grace period ends.
Renewal costs AED 3,000 to AED 9,000 depending on the visa type. Start at least 60 days before expiry. We handle all categories: investor, family, employment, freelance, and Golden Visa renewals.
Processing takes 3 to 10 working days for most types. Golden Visa renewals take 2 to 4 weeks due to investment re-verification. Riz & Mona tracks expiry dates and initiates renewal on time.
A UAE residence visa must be formally cancelled when leaving the country, changing jobs, closing a business, or switching visa types. It does not cancel automatically when you leave.
Cancellation costs AED 500 to AED 2,000 depending on the type. A 30-day grace period begins after. Uncancelled visas accrue AED 50/day fines even after you have physically left the UAE.
We manage all cancellation types including the strict investor sequence and the two-stage employment process through MoHRE and GDRFA. Cancellation certificates issued and verified.
The UAE visa system involves GDRFA, MoHRE, ICP, and multiple free zone authorities. Each has different requirements, portals, and processing timelines. Getting the structure right from day one prevents rejected applications, costly amendments, and residency gaps.
Since 2009, Riz & Mona has processed over 10,000 visas across every category and authority in the UAE. From single applications to multi-dependent household setups, our team handles the full cycle so you never navigate government queues yourself.
We don't just process visas. We structure your UAE residency correctly from day one so it works at renewal, not just at setup.
