    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the minimum investment for a UAE Golden Visa through property?
    AED 2,000,000 (approximately USD 545,000 or EUR 500,000). The property can be in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or any other emirate. It can be residential or commercial. Off-plan properties qualify if at least AED 2M has been paid to the developer (minimum 50% of purchase price).
    Can I use a mortgaged property to qualify for the Golden Visa?
    Yes, but only the equity portion counts toward the AED 2M threshold. If your property is worth AED 3M but you have an outstanding mortgage of AED 1.5M, only AED 1.5M equity qualifies. You would need additional property or equity to reach the AED 2M threshold.
    Can foreigners from all nationalities get the UAE Golden Visa?
    Yes. The UAE Golden Visa is open to all nationalities. There are no restrictions by citizenship. Russians, Europeans, Americans, Chinese, and all other nationalities are equally eligible as long as they meet the investment threshold.
    Does the Golden Visa require me to live in the UAE?
    No. There is no minimum stay requirement for the Golden Visa. You can live outside the UAE and the visa remains valid. The only requirement is to maintain the qualifying property investment. Previously, UAE visas were cancelled if you stayed outside the UAE for 6 months — the Golden Visa removed this restriction.
    What is the difference between a Golden Visa and a regular UAE property visa?
    A regular property visa (also called an investor visa) requires AED 750,000 in property and grants 2-year renewable residency. The Golden Visa requires AED 2,000,000 and grants 10-year residency with no stay requirements and expanded family sponsorship rights.
    Which properties in Dubai qualify for the Golden Visa?
    Any UAE freehold property worth AED 2M+. Completed apartments, villas, townhouses, penthouses, offices, or plots all qualify. The property must be registered with the Dubai Land Department (DLD). Multiple properties can be combined to reach the threshold.
    How long does the Golden Visa application take?
    The application process takes approximately 3–6 weeks from property purchase to visa issuance. Property registration: 1–3 days. ICA/GDRFA application processing: 5–10 business days. Medical and Emirates ID: 5–10 business days. Total: typically 4–6 weeks for straightforward applications.
    Can my family members be sponsored on my Golden Visa?
    Yes. Your spouse, children (all ages, including adult children), parents, and domestic workers can be included as dependants under your Golden Visa. Each dependant gets the same 10-year residency. Children included as dependants maintain their visa even after age 18 as long as they are full-time students.
