Golden Visa Translation Package

Golden Visa applications require MOJ-certified translation of several documents: educational certificates (degrees, diplomas) with MOHESR attestation, professional licenses and certifications, bank statements showing required financial thresholds, salary certificates or income proof, property title deeds for real estate investors, company documents for business owners (MOA, trade license, audited financials), passport copies, and Emirates ID. The specific requirements depend on your Golden Visa category—investor, professional, or specialized talent.

Yes, most Golden Visa documents require both attestation and translation. Educational certificates need MOHESR attestation (which includes UAE Embassy and MOFA attestation from the issuing country). Professional licenses may need attestation from relevant UAE authorities. We coordinate both services—attestation first, then MOJ-certified translation—ensuring proper sequencing for ICA acceptance.

The main categories are: (1) Investors—property title deeds worth AED 2M+, or business ownership documents with audited financials; (2) Professionals—degree certificates, employment contracts, salary certificates showing AED 30,000+ monthly; (3) Specialized Talents—professional achievements, awards, publications, or recognition letters; (4) Entrepreneurs—business plans, startup documentation, incubator acceptance letters. Each category has specific document requirements we help you compile.

A complete Golden Visa translation package typically takes 2-3 business days. Individual documents complete faster: degree certificates 24 hours, bank statements 24-48 hours depending on page count, property documents 24 hours. If your documents also need attestation, add 2-4 weeks for the attestation chain. We recommend starting the process 4-6 weeks before your intended application date.

MOHESR (Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research) attestation verifies that your foreign degree is recognized in the UAE. It is mandatory for Golden Visa applications in the professional category. The process involves: attestation from your home country, UAE Embassy attestation, MOFA attestation, and finally MOHESR equivalency. We coordinate the complete chain and provide MOJ-certified translation of the attested certificate.

Some universities are not on the MOHESR recognized list, which can complicate Golden Visa applications. We can advise on alternative pathways: some applicants qualify through the investor route instead, others through specialized talent categories that focus on professional achievements rather than academic credentials. We assess your situation and recommend the most viable approach.

Bank statements must demonstrate financial stability appropriate to your category. Professionals need statements showing consistent salary deposits of AED 30,000+ monthly. Investors need proof of investment funds or property ownership. Statements should cover 6 months minimum, show the account holder name matching your passport, and be translated with MOJ certification. We format translations to meet ICA review requirements.

Yes. We review your complete document package before translation to identify any gaps, missing documents, or potential issues that could delay your application. This pre-assessment catches problems like name mismatches between documents, missing attestations, insufficient financial proof, or documents that do not meet category requirements. Better to address these before paying for translation and application fees.

Package pricing depends on your category and document count. A typical professional category package (degree, employment contract, salary certificate, bank statements, passport) runs AED 800-1,200. Investor packages with property documents and financial statements run AED 1,000-1,500. We provide detailed quotes after reviewing your specific documents. Package pricing saves 15-20% compared to individual document rates.

Yes. Golden Visa renewals require updated documentation proving you still meet category requirements. This includes recent bank statements, current employment verification, updated property valuations, or continued business activity proof. We translate renewal documents with the same MOJ certification and can advise on what documentation ICA typically requests for renewal applications.
