Golden Visa UAE: Move Freely Across All Emirates
Can You Live in Another Emirate With a Golden Visa?
A common question is:
“I live in Dubai… Can I move to Abu Dhabi or Sharjah with my Golden Visa?”
Answer: Yes — the Golden Visa UAE is valid and recognized across all seven Emirates.
1. Freedom of Movement & Residence
Unlike traditional residency visas, which may tie you to a specific emirate based on your employer or business license, the Golden Visa grants complete geographic freedom.
You can:
Live in Dubai while running a business in Abu Dhabi.
Buy property in Sharjah while studying in Ajman.
Work remotely from Ras Al Khaimah while your family resides in Fujairah.
Register your company in one emirate and live in another.
No additional approvals, transfers, or paperwork are required. The Golden Visa serves as a nationwide residency permit — no borders, no restrictions.
2. Access to Government Services
Golden Visa holders are fully recognized across all UAE government departments and authorities. You can:
Apply for licenses, permits, or approvals in any emirate.
Access healthcare and education services without transferring residency.
Deal with municipalities, courts, or police departments easily.
3. Banking & Financial Institutions
All banks and financial institutions in the UAE accept the Golden Visa as valid proof of residency for:
Opening personal or corporate bank accounts.
Applying for loans, mortgages, or credit cards.
Setting up investment portfolios or trading accounts.
There is no requirement to transfer your visa to a different emirate — it is valid nationwide.
