The UAE Golden Visa has changed how international investors think about Dubai property: a qualifying purchase now secures ten years of residency for you and your family — no sponsor, no employer, and no minimum stay requirements to keep it valid.
The property route
The headline requirement is straightforward: property holdings worth at least AED 2 million. This can be a single residence or a portfolio, and — importantly — mortgaged and off-plan properties can qualify, subject to conditions on paid-up value and developer approval.
Who benefits most
End-users gain security: your family's residency is no longer tied to a job. Investors gain flexibility: you can manage your portfolio from anywhere and sponsor your spouse, children and even domestic staff.
The process
In practice the application runs through the Dubai Land Department and takes a few weeks: title deed verification, medical fitness test, Emirates ID biometrics, and visa issuance. Most of our clients complete the journey with two short visits.
We guide buyers through visa-eligible purchases every month — from choosing property that satisfies the threshold cleanly, to coordinating the paperwork after transfer. If a ten-year foothold in Dubai is part of your plan, structure the purchase correctly from the start.
