UAE Golden Visa through property: ten years from AED 2 million
One or more properties worth AED 2 million in total, in your name, open a ten-year renewable residency for you, your husband or wife, your children of any age and your parents. Mortgages and off-plan homes can count, with conditions.
The rule
The ICP grants the Golden Residency to investors who own one or more properties in the UAE with a total value of at least AED 2,000,000, registered in their name. The Dubai Land Department and GDRFA Dubai give ten years, renewable while the conditions are met.
Mortgage and off-plan
A mortgage from an approved UAE bank is accepted; Dubai asks for a no-objection letter from the bank, and in Abu Dhabi the part owned outright must reach AED 2 million. Off-plan homes from an approved developer can count; Abu Dhabi asks for AED 2 million already paid to the developer.
Family and travel
The visa covers the husband or wife, children regardless of age, and parents. There is no limit on time spent outside the UAE. If the holder dies, the family keeps its visas until they expire.
Cost and keeping it
The Dubai Land Department lists about AED 9,885 for the holder and about AED 5,775 per family member. The home must stay in your name while the visa runs; selling it ends the visa unless other property keeps you at AED 2 million.
