Can I apply for a Golden Visa while being outside the country?

Yes, the application for a Golden Visa in the initial process, including document collection and fee payment, can be started even while the applicant is outside the UAE. After that, the applicant needs to be in the UAE starting from the day of the medicals until completing the residency process. The applicant is not allowed to travel during this residency process, which generally takes a maximum of 15 working days.
