What we do

Four services that cover the whole move

Most clients need more than one. We sequence them so your licence, your visa quota and your family applications line up instead of conflicting.

Why Gulfstone

Advisory that tells you when the answer is no

Dubai has no shortage of setup agents. What is scarce is one that will read your case honestly, quote a single fee and still be reachable in month eleven when your renewal is due.

More about the practice
  • Regulated and accountable

    A licensed Dubai corporate services provider with a registered office, an audited entity and named advisors you can hold to account.

  • Fixed fees, quoted once

    Government charges shown at cost and our fee quoted as one number. No stage payments that appear after you have committed.

  • One advisor, start to finish

    The person who assesses your case files it and follows it up. Your file is never passed to a queue you cannot reach.

  • We file when it is ready

    A complete file approved once beats a fast file rejected twice. We will tell you when waiting is the better commercial decision.

  • Cross-border context

    Clients arrive from 62 countries, so we plan around your exit obligations at home, not only your entry requirements here.

  • Straight answers on eligibility

    If you do not qualify, you will hear it on the first call. Nobody is sold a process that was never going to be approved.

How it works

Five steps, and you always know which one you are on

Every file follows the same sequence. You get a named advisor at step one and the same person is still handling your case at step five.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    A 30-minute call to understand your plans, your timeline and your family situation. No sales script, no obligation.

  2. 02

    Eligibility review

    We check you against every route available and tell you plainly which one is strongest, including when the honest answer is to wait.

  3. 03

    Document preparation

    A single checklist built for your case. We arrange attestation, translation and valuations so the file goes in complete.

  4. 04

    Filing and follow-up

    Submission to the relevant authority, then active follow-up on your reference until a decision is issued.

  5. 05

    Issuance and handover

    Medical, biometrics and Emirates ID completed, permit issued, and your renewal dates logged in our calendar.

Client outcomes

What clients say once the permit is in hand

Names and details are published with permission. Every one of these files was handled from our Downtown Dubai office.

  • Two consultants had already told me my off-plan property would not qualify. Gulfstone checked the development against the approved list, found it did, and had my ten-year visa issued in seven weeks.
    Rahul MenonProperty investor, Mumbai to Dubai
  • They talked me out of the free zone I had already half-signed for. My clients are all UAE government entities and I would have been unable to invoice them. That one conversation saved the business.
    Claire DuboisFounder, engineering consultancy, Paris to Dubai
  • Moving with two children and my mother meant five separate applications running at once. Somebody answered every message the same day, and nobody spent a single day out of status.
    Ahmed FaroukRegional director, Cairo to Dubai
  • I inherited a company with three years of missed filings. They listed every exposure in the first week, fixed it in six, and now I get a reminder before anything is due rather than after.

Questions

The things clients ask before they commit

If your question is not here, ask it on the call. Nothing is chargeable until you have a written quote in front of you.

Still unsure which route fits?

Send us your situation in a sentence and we will tell you what you qualify for.

Government fees for a ten-year Golden Visa typically fall between AED 4,000 and AED 10,000 depending on your route, whether you are inside or outside the country, and how many dependants you add. Our professional fee is quoted as a single fixed figure at the end of your consultation, and it does not move afterwards.
