Hi girls,

My residence visa has been cancelled on the 14 th of august. I have to do the visa run to Oman, however I have heard from the consulate that it' s illegal to do visa runs. I am very worried about this since I was planning to do many visa runs. Could you please tell me what's so risky about it as there are many people doing it.

I have another question: How can I get a residence visa beside having a job off-course. What are my options? Can I get a visa if I buy an apartment ?

Hope to hear from you soon as am little but of worried about all of this.

regards
sara

With Ajman Freezone license, you don't need a local sponsor, you can have 100% ownership of the company, and you don't need a lot of money. I think you can get everything done in around 30,000 AED - no need to rent a separate office as it's included in the package. If you want to get a Dubai mainland license, then you need a local sponsor who's name is included in the license as agent and not partner. Of course you'll need to sign documents and notarize them at Dubai court outlining that the local sponsor is just a sponsor and not a partner and s/he has no rights to the business. License + Visa will cost you around 50,000 AED (including 10,000 AED investor visa deposit and 6000 AED for virtual office). You can get more information from http://www.flyingcolour.com which is a business setup firm. They do all the work, including arranging local agents and their fee is 3000 AED. License will have to be renewed every year while the visa is valid for three years. You can go for a trading license or a professional license. For some licenses you'll need a master's degree while for others just a high school diploma is enough. <em>edited by kayra on 09/09/2013</em>
