Understanding the Golden Visa Property Investment Route

The UAE's Golden Visa programme offers a renewable 10-year residency to property investors who meet a AED 2 million threshold, extendable to immediate family members.

What counts toward the threshold

The property must be fully owned or, if mortgaged, the paid-off portion must meet the AED 2 million minimum — off-plan purchases can qualify once a sufficient percentage has been paid.

Multiple properties can be combined

Investors can combine the value of up to three properties to reach the threshold, provided one is fully paid off.

Why investors pursue it

Beyond residency itself, the visa removes the need for a local sponsor, allows 100% business ownership, and gives holders' family members the same residency status.
