What happens with the golden visa if getting divorced?

Dear questioner,

If you are a holder of a Golden visa, then there will be no problem.

However, if your spouse is staying as dependent on your visa, then it will be lost and the spouse is required to take another visa for residential purposes.

Dear Questioner,

A golden visa in the UAE shouldn't be directly affected by your divorce. It's typically tied to your investment or other qualifications, not your marital status.

However, there are some indirect ways a divorce could impact your residency:

- Visa Sponsorship:

If your golden visa was obtained through property investment under your spouse's name, and the property is divided in the divorce, you might need to ensure you retain ownership of the qualifying property to keep the visa.

- Financial Requirements:

Golden visas often have minimum investment thresholds. If the divorce settlement significantly reduces your finances, it's crucial to ensure you meet the investment criteria going forward.

Here's what you can do:

- Review Visa Conditions:

Carefully examine the terms under which you received your golden visa. This will clarify if marital status plays a role.
