Benefits include the ability to legally reside, work, and invest in the UAE, access to local healthcare, education, and other public services, as well as the freedom to enter and exit the UAE and travel to Gulf Cooperation Council countries for business or leisure. In terms of limitations, additional permits or qualifications may be required when engaging in certain specific industries or business activities. Additionally, if investment projects or company operations violate regulations, it may affect the visa status. (Adam)
Before the visa expires, the applicant must submit a renewal application to the UAE immigration authorities and provide relevant materials, such as proof of continued investment and evidence of good company operations. Different types of visas have different renewal conditions. For example, a real estate investor visa requires that the property remains under the applicant's name and meets the investment amount requirements; a company investor visa requires the company to operate normally and comply with relevant regulations.

Investors holding certification can sponsor family members to obtain dependent certification, including spouses, children, and parents. When applying for family member certification, in addition to the investor's own certification and relevant documents, proof of kinship such as marriage certificates or birth certificates for children is required. The specific process and requirements are similar to investor certification, usually submitted by the investor's company or the investor themselves as the sponsor. (Adam)
First, determine the investment method and prepare the relevant materials. Then submit the application to the relevant department in the UAE. For example, companies registered in mainland China should submit to the Ministry of Economic Development, while companies in free zones should submit to the relevant free zone authority. After submitting the application, wait for the review. Once approved, you will receive a medical examination notice. After completing the medical examination and passing it, you can obtain the visa.
