Long-term settlement and permanent residence pathways — expert ICP / GDRFA-compliant applications managed by our specialist team in Colombo.
The UAE Golden Visa grants Sri Lankan nationals a 10-year renewable residence without requiring an employer or local sponsor. Categories include property investors (AED 2M minimum), entrepreneurs, senior professionals in specialist fields, outstanding students, and exceptionally talented individuals in sports, arts, and science.
Sri Lanka has a large and established community in the UAE. We handle the full range of UAE visa categories: short-stay tourist visas, employment visas, family residency, and Golden Visa applications.
Our consultants maintain current, working knowledge of General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs / Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship requirements — not outdated general advice. Every United Arab Emirates Permanent Residency application we submit is reviewed by a senior specialist before filing.
Three reasons our United Arab Emirates Permanent Residency clients consistently achieve results.
Most applicants have more than one available PR pathway. We identify which route gives you the best combination of eligibility strength, processing speed, and long-term outcome.
PR applications have serious consequences if poorly prepared. We do not cut corners. Every application we submit meets the full standard required, never the minimum.
We include your spouse, children, and dependants in your PR planning from the outset, ensuring family members are correctly included in your application or have a clear subsequent pathway.
A clear four-step process from your first enquiry to visa grant.
We conduct a detailed assessment of your qualifications, work history, language scores, and personal circumstances against every available PR pathway, identifying the strongest route.
We build a clear, staged strategy with realistic timelines, covering any prerequisite steps such as skills assessments, points boosts, or qualifying work experience periods.
We prepare your full PR application, covering every form, declaration, supporting document, and statement, to the exact standard required by the processing authority.
We manage your case from submission through to grant, tracking progress, responding to requests for information, and coordinating medical and biometrics requirements.
