Residency & VisasUAE visa services, from application to Emirates ID
A UAE visa involves several authorities and a fixed order of steps: entry permit, change of status, medical test, biometrics, Emirates ID and residence. One late or incorrect document can hold up everything behind it.
Legacy Global Advisory prepares and submits each application, books the appointments and keeps you informed at every stage. We act for individuals, families and employers, on the mainland and in the free zones.
