What TenderScan checks for Golden Visa holders:
What We Find
Risks specific to Golden Visa holders in employment contracts
Employer Sponsorship Conflict
Employment contracts that conflict with your Golden Visa self-sponsorship. Your Golden Visa gives you independent residency — ensure your contract does not create conflicting visa obligations.
Non-Compete Overreach
Broad non-compete clauses that could limit your ability to work freely — undermining the employment flexibility Golden Visa holders are supposed to enjoy.
Salary Below Threshold
Employment terms that could jeopardise your Golden Visa renewal. Certain categories require maintaining minimum salary thresholds to remain eligible.
Exit Clause Conflicts
Termination clauses that fail to account for your independent visa status. Unlike standard employees, Golden Visa holders do not lose residency upon job loss.
IP Rights Misalignment
IP assignment clauses that conflict with your independent professional status. Golden Visa holders who are specialists or entrepreneurs need to protect their intellectual property.
Insurance Gap Risks
Contracts that rely on employer health insurance without backup. If employment ends, Golden Visa holders need standalone insurance — your contract should address the transition.
Real Finding
We found “employee's visa shall be cancelled within 48 hours of termination” in contracts of Golden Visa holders — a clause that is both inapplicable and misleading since Golden Visa residency is independent of employment.
