Understanding the UAE's Property Investor Golden Visa

The Property Investor Golden Visa is part of the UAE's initiative to attract global talent and investment. For individuals who purchase property worth at least AED 2 million, the visa grants them a 10-year residency in Dubai, providing opportunities for them and their families to live, work, and enjoy a range of benefits.

Key Features of the Golden Visa:
  • Long-Term Residency: A 10-year visa, renewable upon meeting continued eligibility requirements.
  • Family Inclusion: Ability to sponsor immediate family members.
  • Flexibility: No need for a local sponsor or employer
  • Travel Freedom: No minimum stay requirements to maintain visa validity.


Eligibility Criteria: Who Can Apply?

To qualify for the Property Investor Golden Visa, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  1. Investment Threshold:
    • Invest a minimum of AED 2 million (approximately USD 545,000) in UAE real estate.
    • This can be a single property or a combination of properties.

  2. Property Type:
    • The investment must be in freehold properties only.
    • Leasehold properties are not eligible for this visa program.

  3. Ownership Proof:
    • Applicants must have a valid title deed issued by the relevant land department in the emirate where the property is located.

  4. Mortgage Considerations:
    • If the property is mortgaged, the investor must have paid at least AED 2 million towards the mortgage.
    • Additional documentation from the bank may be required to verify the mortgage status.

  5. Legal Compliance:
    • Both the property and the investor must comply with all UAE legal requirements related to real estate ownership and investment.


Emirate-Specific Considerations

While the Golden Visa program is a federal initiative, there are some emirate-specific aspects to consider:

  1. Dubai:
    • Known for its luxury real estate market and iconic developments like Palm Jumeirah and Burj Khalifa.
    • The Dubai Land Department handles property registration and Golden Visa applications for properties in Dubai.

  2. Abu Dhabi:
    • Offers a range of investment opportunities, including properties on Saadiyat Island and Al Reem Island.
    • The Department of Municipalities and Transport oversees property matters in Abu Dhabi.

  3. Sharjah:
    • Recently opened its real estate market to foreign investment in designated areas.
    • The Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department manages property registrations.

  4. Other Emirates
    • Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, and Fujairah also offer property investment opportunities, each with their own unique attractions and regulations.

It's important to note that while the basic requirements for the Golden Visa are the same across the UAE, the specific processes and additional requirements may vary slightly between emirates
