Visa & Immigration Support with PROXPAT
After your UAE company license is issued, the next step is often opening the company immigration file, applying for an establishment card, and processing residence visas for investors, partners, employees, and eligible dependents. These steps connect your business license to the UAE immigration and identity systems.
PROXPAT helps business owners and companies coordinate immigration documentation, establishment card applications, entry permits, status changes, medical fitness, Emirates ID, residence visa stamping or issuance, renewals, cancellations, and post-license visa administration.
Official UAE guidance states that residence visa validity varies by type and sponsor, that applicants aged 18 and above must undergo a medical test, pass security checks, and apply for Emirates ID. Emirates ID is issued by ICP and is mandatory for UAE citizens and residents.

Important Immigration Notes
Visa and residency steps are separate from trade license issuance. A company may have a valid license but still need immigration file opening and establishment card processing before sponsoring visas.
- Residence visa validity: UAE residence validity varies by visa type and sponsor, including 1, 2, or 3 years for sponsored visas and longer periods for eligible long-term residency routes.
- Medical fitness: Residence visa applicants aged 18 and above must complete medical fitness testing.
- Emirates ID: Emirates ID is mandatory for UAE residents and is linked to the residency process.
- Renewal planning: Residence visas and Emirates ID cards should be renewed before expiry to avoid delays or fines.
- Cancellation: Visa cancellations usually must be processed by the sponsor or relevant authority before changing status or leaving permanently.
