Conclusion

 

Visit or visa on arrival are not comparable to the Golden Visa. It grants the investor’s family the right to remain for an extended period. Most people who wish to live abroad prefer to have permanent residency rather than being here temporarily and leaving every six months. Furthermore, when a family relocates to Dubai, they want to buy a car, rent a house, send their children to school, and do a lot of other connected activities. You cannot do any of them with a visitation visa. Those who wish to remain here for an extended period might apply for the Golden Visa. It facilitates effective tax planning as well.
