What Is the UAE Golden Visa?
The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residency permit that allows foreign nationals to live, work, and study in the UAE. Property investors can qualify for either a 2-year or 10-year visa depending on their investment value.
Eligibility Through Property
10-Year Golden Visa
Requires a property investment of at least AED 2 million (approximately £430,000). The property must be completed (not off-plan) and can be a single unit or portfolio totalling the minimum value. Mortgage is acceptable — the property value counts, not just the equity.
2-Year Investor Visa
Available for property investments starting from AED 750,000. This is a renewable visa that provides UAE residency, a UAE ID card, and the ability to sponsor family members.
Key Benefits
- Live and work in the UAE without a local sponsor
- Sponsor spouse and children
- Open UAE bank accounts
- Access UAE healthcare and education
- No minimum stay requirement (for 10-year visa)
- Renewable at the end of the term
Application Process
- Purchase qualifying property in a freehold area
- Obtain title deed from Dubai Land Department
- Apply through ICP (Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship)
- Submit required documents (passport, photos, title deed, insurance)
- Receive entry permit, then complete Emirates ID and visa stamping
