What this is
Long-term residence for founders, investors and senior staff.
The routes
Investment in property at the relevant threshold. Company ownership and employment through the licensed entity. Specialised talent and other categories. Each has its own evidence requirements and its own failure modes.
Where crypto founders get stuck
On source of funds. Where the wealth originates in virtual assets, the file has to trace it in a way that is intelligible to someone who does not work in the sector. That is a documentation exercise, and it is the part worth starting early.
What the work involves
Assessing which route the facts actually support rather than the one that was suggested. Preparing the application and the supporting evidence. Handling dependants. Managing renewal and any change of status.

Häufige Fragen
Does a free-zone company give residence?
Yes, through its establishment card and visa quota, which is tied to the office arrangement. Offshore companies do not.
