UAE · Residence permit

Everyone said: if you want a Golden Visa, buy an apartment for a couple of million dirhams. Martina filed me under the talent category and assembled the portfolio the way the ministry expects. A ten-year visa without property.

We paid from my Singapore holding’s account, and the bank had doubts. Eva gathered the corporate documents and proved the holding is mine. The visa is granted.

UAE · Residence permit

I purchased an office in Business Bay for a Golden Visa; the capital is legitimate, but Emirates NBD and Mashreq were delaying KYC due to my Belarusian passport. Igor did not attempt to force these banks but immediately recommended Wio—a new tech-bank more favorable to legitimate capital from CIS countries.
